WE WAIT IN THE DARKNESS is a solo dance by Native American choreographer Rosy Simas (Seneca) that explores how ancestry, homeland, culture, and history are stored in the body and expressed in movement. In collaboration with photographer/filmmaker Douglas Beasley and French composer Francois Richomme, Simas creates an environment of sound, photography, video imagery and movement. Using personal metaphor and story, she takes the audience on a journey through a contemplative and fierce Native American experience of displacement and homecoming.
