A collaboration between MacArthur Genius director/choreographer Martha Clarke and Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Alfred Uhry, Angel Reapers is a cross-disciplinary work about the Shakers set in New England during the late 18th century. The company of 11 dancers brings the Shaker world to life through Clarke's imagistic choreography and Uhry’s text, both drawn from historical testimonies and woven throughout with a cappella Shaker songs. Angel Reapers explores this mysterious sect with its strict code of celibacy and austere way of life.
