Choreographer Donald Byrd and his troupe challenge audiences to confront urgent issues of our time. With the Race and Climate Change Festival, which will continue with After, they tackle the racial justice issues of the changing earth. According to press materials, the festival is based on the design firm's The Flooded London series, which visualizes a semi-submerged London in the year 2090. Fitting with the theme of the rising ocean, POOL will be a site-specific work on the beach.
