Kelly Strayhorn Theater

The Kelly Strayhorn Theater presents The Missing Generation, a new dance-theater work that explores the contemporary impact of the loss of part of an entire generation of gay and transgender people to AIDS in the 1980s and 1990s.Sean Dorsey created the work over a 2-year period by conducting oral history interviews with survivors of the early AIDS epidemic, doing archival research, and hosting community residencies in six cities. The Missing Generation features full-throttle dance, luscious partnering, intimate storytelling and highly-physical theater performed by Dorsey’s award-winning, multi-generational ensemble of dancers: Sean Dorsey, Brian Fisher, ArVejon Jones and Nol Simonse.
