Merce Cunningham Dance Company: Legacy Tour November 18, 2011

The Dance Center of Columbia College Chicago and the Harris Theater co-present the company's final Chicago performances before disbanding. Program A (Nov 18) includes Squaregame (1976), Quartet (1982) and Antic Meet (1958), the latter set to a John Cage score and with décor, costumes and lighting by Robert Rauschenberg. Program B (Nov 19) is Roaratorio (1983), an evening-length large-scale work set to John Cage’s complex 1979 composition “Roaratorio, an Irish Circus on Finnegans Wake,” consisting of an audio collage of music, text and sounds collected by Cage from locations in Ireland referenced in Joyce’s novel.
