Last night Court and I went to see Mortal Engine at BAM as part of our Fall Dance Subscription. It was hands down the best performance we’ve seen this season, and I highly recommend it - tickets are still available. The show runs through Saturday, Dec 12.
Every action incites a reaction: a lone dancer’s gesture stirs a passage of music, another’s washes the stage in shadow. Sparks fly. Acid green lasers perforate the darkness, transforming the space into a cosmic force field. As the dancers—performing on a tilted platform at once exhilarating and disorienting—create music and light, Mortal Engine reveals the energy that moves us, never predictable and always changing.
