A COLORED IMAGE OF THE SUN

(2013)

Choreography by Shannon Gillen 

Performed by Emily Terndrup, Catherine Coury, Genna Baroni, Gabrielle Lamb, and Amy Moore

Watching Shannon Gillen + Guests perform "A Colored Image of the Sun" means being struck over and over by the human ability to achieve the sublime. The constant push and pull between beauty and terror and ecstasy and violence was apparent in every minute of the piece, which transcended the limitations implicit in the human form and became something more than human, it became universal.'
