Company Rose is a modern dance troupe founded by Marsha Barsky, who has choreographed performances inspired by Frist exhibits as disparate as Andy Warhol and the collection of the Musée d’Orsay. If our instincts are correct, the performance they’ve arranged to coincide with the current exhibit of German Expressionism may be the best one yet. We’re thinking Fritz Lang films, Cabaret-style Weimar Republic references, and tons of emotional tension. The company calls their performance “a meditation on the constant anxieties and fears that provoke transfiguration of living faces and pastoral spaces into frozen forms, a process that awakens a sense of horror and a search for the means by which subjects can till their authentic selves.” Admission is free.
