Co-commissioned by LMCC and Arts Brookfield for the 2018 River To River Festival, Of Granite and Glass is part of choreographer Catherine Galasso’s 10-part series, Of Iron and Diamonds, based on Boccaccio’s 14th-century Decameron. The performance will combine her signature cinematic tableaux, whimsical nonlinear narratives and charismatic performers to engage in a choreographic dialogue with the architecture and atmosphere of the Winter Garden at Brookfield Place.
Performers will transform the space into a singular spectacle as they move between episodic and virtuosic movements on multiple planes, shaped closely by the grandeur and intrigue of Cesar Pelli’s grand marble staircase.
