This intriguing new work by one of the most acclaimed young American choreographers challenges how we focus our perceptions and hopes. John Jasperse returns to the MCA with a layered and suggestive dance that shifts between chaos and order, set amidst a massive floating sculpture by Chicago based architect Ammar Eloueini and includes music by Jonathan Bepler. Using California as a state of mind defined by both promise and crisis - the gold rush and the dot-com bust, the land of plenty and of fault lines - he delves into what it means when things go wrong, and when what we expect to happen, doesn't.
