“In times of extreme violence, not even the most powerful or innocent may escape”
Drawing inspiration from Martha Graham's Cortege of Eagles, Baye & Asa focus on Charon, the ferryman who shepherds souls to the underworld. In Graham's work, the Trojan Empire is crumbling, and Charon is the conductor of its inevitable fall. Baye & Asa’s Cortege removes this central figure of mythological predestination, and instead places the burden of fate on the ensemble.
Together, they generate the cyclical momentum of war.
World Premiere: April 1st, 2025 at The Joyce Theater
