The Genesis Project
Dark, daring and deeply human, The Genesis Project is a striking contemporary dance work that reimagines the stories women have inherited—and the power of rewriting them.
Performed by six exceptional dancers, this cinematic production blends contemporary movement, evocative visual design and an original score by Annika Moses (Great Statue), featuring music from her album Great Lake. Together, they conjure a world that is at once haunting, witty and fiercely empowering, exploring autonomy, resilience and the expectations placed on women’s bodies across time.
An unforgettable evening of dance that lingers long after the final curtain.
