ISHIDA - waiting / REX

Join the nationally celebrated ISHIDA Dance Company for an unforgettable experience!

Renowned dance critic Sarah L. Kaufman has hailed their work as “deeply poignant” and “remarkable.” Brett Cullum from Broadway World captured the essence of their performance by saying, “The dancers weaved pure magic in the air, and you could almost hear jaws dropping as they moved…”.

waiting / REX is a striking world premiere contemporary dance double bill that explores the profound themes found in the works of Samuel Beckett and Sophocles. Experience a fresh interpretation of Waiting for Godot and Oedipus Tyrannus, transforming these classics into vibrant, embodied experiences.

• waiting immerses you in cycles of repetition, humor, and longing.
• REX unveils a haunting, surreal quest for identity, power, and truth.

Together, these pieces create a minimalist yet highly emotional diptych, offering a rare and transformative exploration of blindness through meticulous physicality.

After the Sunday performance, join Artistic Director Brett Ishida and the dancers for an intriguing talkback session!
