The Joyce will present Ephrat Asherie Dance in three performances featuring the Joyce debut of "Odeon,” an original dance work for seven dancers and four musicians and the second collaboration between sister and brother team Ephrat and Ehud Asherie (choreographer and pianist, respectively), at The Joyce Theater, November 5-7, 2019. Set to the music of Brazilian composer Ernesto Nazareth, the work explores connections between street and club dances—including breaking, hip hop, house, and vogue. “Odeon” delves into what happens when you bring this extended family of dances together, pick them apart, remix them, and place them in unfamiliar spatial and choreographic contexts.
