BOISE — Tickets are officially available for Dark Night, the groundbreaking immersive tap dance performance poised to redefine perceptions of endurance. Even better? This once-in-a-lifetime opportunity is absolutely free to attend.
Conceived by acclaimed tap dance artist Andrew Nemr and directed by Tony Award nominee Tony Yazbeck, Dark Night is set to make its world premiere at 7 p.m. Friday, August 8, at TRICA, 1406 W. Eastman in Boise. Audiences may now secure their free tickets by visiting https://darknightlive.eventbrite.com.
Dark Night is a living performance piece that delves into the profound human experience of navigating moments when all familiar anchors are stripped away. Through a 12-hour solo improvised tap dance performance by Nemr, coupled with stunning immersive projections by Stephen Proctor, the audience — both in-person and online — will be invited into a space for contemplation, reflection and, ultimately, to honor the choice to endure.
Inspired by the concept of the “dark night of the soul,” a period of deep spiritual struggle and uncertainty ultimately leading to profound spiritual growth and transformation, this performance aims to forewarn, guide, and encourage those who may be encountering or have encountered such an experience. Throughout history, giants of the faith have struggled with the “dark night” and come through stronger and better for it. “It’s often seen as a necessary part of spiritual growth and transformation, a time when old beliefs and identities are shed to make way for new ones,” according to information at “Dark Night of the Soul Meaning.”
The performance will be accompanied by prompts designed to spark introspection on personal resilience and hope.
