June 19, 2020, at 5:00PM
Martha Graham Dance Company and Wild Up were first brought together by The Soraya in 2017. Continuing the longstanding partnership between the three organizations, The Soraya commissioned and produced the world premiere of Immediate Tragedy.
Inspired by Martha Graham’s lost solo from 1937, this reimagined version features 14 dancers and includes new music composed by Wild Up’s Christopher Rountree. The 30-minute world premiere includes interviews with the collaborators, a screening of a recent performance of Deep Song, a solo which the choreographer created as a companion to Immediate Tragedy in 1937, a performance of Intermediate Percussion by Henry Cowell, and the premiere of the new Immediate Tragedy, which is 10 minutes long.
