DANCE
Live Arts - The Gate Reopened by Brian Sanders' JUNK
September 14-September 22, 2012
Comment on Facebook
One of the most popular Live Arts Festival shows of all time returns—newly built, newly imagined, and completely reopened.
The Gate Reopened takes over Pier 9, a municipal warehouse on the Delaware River that is nearly 100 feet wide by 535 feet long and where international steamers once docked. Inside this massive structure The Gate has been built anew as a 20-foot high cylindrical octagon. With theater-inthe- round seating, audiences encircle the eight dancers in what has become a futuristic, post-industrial, post-apocalyptic coliseum.
Performers suspend, rebound, propel, ascend, hover, mount, hang, and free-fall all for the sake of The Gate. Like a giant jungle gym for the insane with spinning ladders, moving walls, water, and breathtaking formations of bodies, The Gate Reopened is an exhilarating feast of exciting physicality and creativity, elegantly served up with beauty and wit.
In short: vertical formations, post-apocalyptic in-the-round, dynamic beauty, mud bath tribal ritual.
