About this concert
Choreographer Nicole von Arx and her dance collaborators will be at The Adams Theater for a residency from September 7-14, ahead of their NYC premiere of “Cry Wolf,” using the space to explore how dance theater can capture the urgency of our changing environment, blending dynamic choreography, humor, and theatricality to create an emotional landscape that invites audiences into a deeply human experience. Through physical storytelling and virtuosic choreography, “Cry Wolf” delves into the complexities of perception, truth, and the consequences of our actions. Inspired by Aesop’s allegory "The Boy Who Cried Wolf,” the work asks: What truths are we ready to face, and how do we act once we understand Earth’s warnings? Von Arx, who has been creating under the name NVA and Guests since 2014, has performed and toured with The Norwegian National Company for Contemporary Dance, the Metropolitan Opera and the Royal Opera House and worked with companies like Stanford Live and Wolf Trap Opera, alongside guest teaching gigs at universities like NYU’s Tisch School of Dance and the Boston Conservatory of Dance at Berkeley.
