Nocturne for an afternoon

4 dancers; 17 min
Music: Frédéric Chopin

"Nocturne for an afternoon" draws upon inspiration from The Diary of Anne Frank, text by Edward L. Hutton, and field research in the town of Mélisey, Haute-Saône. It investigates the notion of secondhand sadness, the feeling of being separated from loved ones, and the desperate need to survive.
