Water Is Rising: Music and Dance Amid Climate Change
VIEW EVENT DETAILSPerformance and purpose collide in this powerful American stage premiere that illuminates the plight of the Pacific Islands. The vulnerable coral atolls of Kiribati, Tokelau, and Tuvalu are already experiencing rising sea levels as a result of global warming and climate change.
Thirty-six dancers and musicians from the world's smallest countries express their deep connection to nature and their ancestral past through multi-part harmonies, poetry, and gracious movement cascading over dynamic rhythms inspiring us all to be better stewards of our shared planet. Water is Rising harnesses the power of performance art in an impassioned plea for global awareness and social change.
