Buenos Aires | Seattle Debut
Merrill Wright Mainstage Theater

After 6 years at the top of OtB’s programming wish list, Argentinean choreographer Diana Szeinblum finally makes her Seattle debut with Alaska, a sensual portrayal of memory and loneliness featuring 4 gorgeous dancers. Szeinblum uses dark humor, extreme physicality, original music and a minimal set to create a beautiful spectacle that gravitates between uneasy stillness and violent frenzy. Her career began with the prestigious contemporary Ballet of the San Martin General Theater and continued at the Folkwang Tanz Schule, where she danced under the artistic direction of Pina Bausch. Her performances have toured across Europe, Asia and the US.
