Oct 13(2 events) 1:00 pm: Ecos, Presented by Axis Dance Company (in-person) – B. Way Theater, 3153 17th Street, San Francisco, 1:00 pm: haptic tour AXIS Dance Company presents Ecos,, featuring a lineup of three world premieres with special guest artists Post:ballet. The evening features works from award-winning Spanish choreographer Jorge Crecis, celebrated Bay Area artist Dazaun Soleyn, and AXIS Artistic Director Nadia Adame. Across these diverse artistic perspectives, Ecos unveils the many complex layers of the human experience to illuminate the core of what moves us forward. The evening begins with Adame’s Piel de Luna, which draws inspiration from the mystical energy of the moon – exploring how its gravitational pull not only affects the tides but also weaves invisible threads connecting the human spirit. Following is Soleyn’s Harmony of Souls, a duet which blurs the boundaries between our individual and interconnected experience. The evening closes with Crecis’ epic Blueprints of Being, a collaboration with Post:ballet in which each dancer represents both a real individual and an emblematic archetype, inviting audiences to see parts of their own stories and identities echoed on stage. KN95 masks or similar will be required for all audience members for performances on Sunday, Oct 13. (Extra masks will be available on site.)
