HORSES FULL OF STEAM @ SUMMER ON THE HUDSON


HB² PROJECTS will be presenting a site-specific performance of Horses full of steam, a collaboration between director & choreographer Hilary Brown-Istrefi; dancers Sabrina Canas & Maira Duarte; composer Mahsa Matin with vocalists Abena Roman & Aiyana Roman; and visual artist Heather Weston, as part of Riverside Park Conservancy's 2023 Summer on the Hudson Festival, July 29 & 30 at West Harlem Piers Park, NYC.

Horses full of steam deconstructs to reimagine visual and topical elements from the almost forgotten 1932 ballet-symphony, H.P. (Horse Power), with music by Carlos Chávez, designs by Diego Rivera, and choreography by Catherine Littlefield. Adopting the ballet's original 4-episode structure, the performance explores the hybridity of Pan-American culture through a magical realist lens.

Both performances are FREE with donations going directly to the artists.
