"We Wait In The Darkness" is a solo dance by Native American contemporary choreographer Rosy Simas. It 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 François Richomme, Simas creates an otherworldly environment of images, sound and movement. Through personal metaphor and story, Simas takes the audience on a journey through a contemplative and fierce Native experience of displacement and homecoming.
