LACRIMAE NOSTRAE: Music for our tears

We will be ending our season in a more uplifting manner with a program all about crying! Seems strange, but it will be an evening of honoring the act of crying as part of our stress cycle and how it provides us a healthy release for our mind, body, and soul.

This was first inspired by a show in the 2021 | 2022 Danceworks, Inc. season entitled “Fight or Flight” (directed by Artistic Director Christal Wagner) that explored the nervous system. With a lot to cover in such a topic, crying was not at the forefront of that particular show, but we, APERI ANIMAM, are happy to take the initiative to explore that area.

Take a look at the program, available for download here.

Tickets are $25 in advance, $30 at the door.

To set the stage for the performance on Saturday, May 20, APERI ANIMAM Artistic Director Jackie Willis will present a brief lecture, “Music, Crying, and the Nervous System” beginning at 6:45 PM. Purchase of a ticket for the performance is required to attend the lecture.

NOTE: The Friday evening performance has been canceled.
