ISHIDA - waiting / REX

Join us for an unforgettable evening featuring the acclaimed ISHIDA Dance Company! ✨

Critically celebrated by Pulitzer Prize-winning dance critic Sarah L. Kaufman, who praised the work as “deeply poignant” and “remarkable,” this world premiere contemporary dance double bill promises to be a transformative experience.

waiting / REX juxtaposes the works of Samuel Beckett and Sophocles, reimagining Waiting for Godot and Oedipus Tyrannus through a striking physical lens.

👉 waiting immerses you in cycles of repetition, humor, and longing, while REX unfolds a haunting, surreal exploration of identity, power, and truth. Together, these pieces create a minimalist, emotionally charged diptych—a rare opportunity to witness profound lessons in blindness expressed through meticulous movement.
