Homelands – Dance at the NAC

Wow! I saw Homelands last night at the NAC and I was very impressed with the production. The three dancers on the stage were behind a thin screen that they use to project images of running water and other elements of nature. At one point the dancer on the stage was duplicated 6 or 7 times on the projected screen giving the impression that the dancers were joined by ghosts on the stage. The projected images sometimes occupied the top half of the screen creating a sense of aporia between real and fantasy, presence and hauntings. Very impressive and kudos to the production and dancers!
