Song of Songs: Pam Tanowitz/David Lang

Melissa Toogood and Zachary Gonder.

July 1–3, 2022
Richard B. Fisher Center for the Performing Arts, Manor Ave, Annandale-On-Hudson, NY 12504, USA

A new dance-theater piece based on Solomon’s Biblical erotica, choreographed by Pam Tanowitz to a commissioned score by the prolific, resourceful, and unpredictable David Lang. What to expect? Here’s the advance word: “A collage of sound, song, and movement that reimagines ancient rituals of love and courtship, Song of Songs holds the sacred and profane threads of the Song in perfect balance.” —Matthew Gurewitsch
