Description

Powerhouse creative forces unite – and sparks fly – in Mirra Bank’s Last Dance, as the dazzling Pilobolus dance company and legendary author-illustrator, Maurice Sendak, collaborate on a dance-theater work that honors a haunting Holocaust legacy. Riveting rehearsal footage, probing interviews, chilling Nazi-era footage, and breathtaking performance weave into a thrilling insight into the creative process. Last Dance holds nothing back as philosophies clash, confrontations abound, and artistic disaster threatens at every turn. But in the end, we are rewarded, as Pilobolus dancers – pure bolts of force and grace – give life to a stark and stunning new work.
