Still/Here

30 years after its premiere at Next Wave 1994, the groundbreaking and then-highly controversial multimedia dance theater work by Bill T. Jones returns to the opera house stage. Created during the AIDS epidemic, one of the most contentious and terrifying periods of US history,  Still/Here breaks boundaries between the personal and the political, exemplifying a form of dance theater that is uniquely American. At the heart of the piece are “survival workshops” which Jones conducted across the country with people living with life-threatening illness. The participants are the essence of the piece: their gestures inform the choreography, their words the lyrics, their images the stage; they will always be Still/Here, and this work exists to honor their strength.
