Sonder
Directed by RJ Muna | Choreographed by Mia J. Chong | Produced by EIGHT/MOVES
In a brilliant white void, Sonder explores the multifaceted lives of passersby through individual and collective expression. Sonder references the sensation of realizing every person you encounter is living a life as complex and vivid as your own. Through abstract swirls of interlocking gestures and fluid athleticism, the dancers explore moments of epiphany and exchange. Sonder is directed by RJ Muna, choreographed by Mia J. Chong, and features an original score by Daniel Berkman, as well as performances by EIGHT/MOVES dancers and co-creators Lani Yamanaka, Crystaldawn Bell, Colin Frederick, and Cora Cliburn.
“Sonder” is being screened as an official selection for 10+ film festivals across the United States and three continents.
