Rose Wagner Performing Arts Center
Ririe-Woodbury commemorates its 45th Anniversary with TOWER, a newly reconstructed work by theatre wizard Alwin Nikolais which was recently recognized as an "American Masterpiece" by the National Endowment for the Arts.
This brilliant multi-media work, created in 1965, uses architectural elements to form a microcosm of society and is notable for the incessant, often hilarious verbal commentary by the dancers.
Said to be an "indictment of the American babble," Tower is "fast, funny and evocative." At the end of this fast-talking piece, humankind comes off as "both the victor and the victim of his environment [Time Magazine]" as this Tower of Babble comes crashing down. The evening includes other Nikolais favorites Tensile Involvement, Crucible, and the regional premiere of Liturgies.
