ODC Theater Presents Dandelion Dancetheater's MUTT September 18, 2009

Dandelion Dancetheater, San Francisco's experimental interdisciplinary company returns to the Bay Area following its July preview at the New York's Joyce SoHo for the premiere of Mutt Chapters One and Two, the ensemble's multi-year project.

"Mad and maddening, a wild whirl of song, text, visual design and movement..."
- New York Times, July 2009

A dance-play where live folk and blues, piercing physicality and dreamlike story-telling collide to examine the identity and afterlife of a young girl. This is the story of Miyo, a mixed-race girl born in an internment camp during WWII to a Japanese American internee and a Caucasian prison guard from Texas. With narration in both Japanese and English, kimonos and cowboy boots fuse in this surreal expression of an afterlife. Contains nudity.

Dandelion Dancetheater is co-directed by Kimiko Guthrie and Eric Kupers.

About Dandelion Dancetheater
Through dance, collided with experimental theater, video, writing, music, and image, Dandelion Dancetheater aims a kinesthetic microscope at the ever-changing intricacies of the human heart. Its work is emotionally driven and grounded in a fascination with the intersections of bold risk-taking and public accessibility. The company, which was founded in 1996, is committed to the individual and combined artistic visions of Kimiko Guthrie and Eric Kupers. It views the bodily exploration of human vulnerability, strength and paradox as a potent means for personal and collective growth, and through teaching and creating with people of diverse sizes, shapes, ages, cultures and abilities, Dandelion Dancetheater allow viewers of all walks of life to find themselves reflected in its work.
