A site-specific dance-theatre piece adaptation of composer Masami Tomihisa's poetic narrative, The Story of Lady Grey. With room for somatic interpretation, narrative is explored through this highly poetic piece, using the architecture of Anita's Way in site-specific response to mimic the linear structure of the story. The performers move along the length of a city block posed as an undulating wooden walkway from 42 to 43 street. Embodying dream-world surrealistic notions of the self, the movement luxuriates in soundscapes and text which will be audible through each audience members personal cell phone. Join Lady Grey on her adventure as you walk through the space in unison with the moving quartet.
