A USA Premiere. A gripping work for 3 dancers, 3 paths of soil, 3 iron plates, accompanied by a soaring score performed by 6 accordions, 3 basses, an organ and percussion. This astounding work has been performed by Europe's top companies including the Cullberg Ballet, The Paris Opera, and The Royal Swedish, among others.
"In a league of its own...a masterpiece

as ominous as it was profound...performed
magnificently, schakt is the stuff of
nightmares and one remarkable dance work."
