Belly of The Whale
“A new piece of documentary dance theater, Belly of the Whale…one of the Bay Area’s most exciting and diversified showcases of street and social dance.”
– 48 Hills
“Potent, powerful, epic dance theater.” – San Francisco Chronicle
What does it mean to embody radical “Revolutionary Love" in this time of profound polarization? With a cast of ten virtuosic street dancers and four acclaimed vocalists and actors, EP's newest and most ambitious work, Belly of the Whale masterfully points us to the way.
Belly is a multidisciplinary tragicomedy interweaving street dance, live music, spoken word, and documentary theater to radically disrupt otherness and the politics of disposability.
