Inspired by the stylized aesthetics of film noir, the new dance/performance piece “Eleven Missing Days” explores the experience of mystery and the meaning of disappearance versus absence. Choreographed by Meg Wolfe the piece also intends to dissect the creative process itself and how we perpetually reexamine ourselves when new ‘evidence’ appears.
