The Voyage of the Húi Corra (preview)

December 8, 2007
Ultimately part of a cycle of works inspired by fabulous 6th and 7th century Irish adventure tales known as Immrama (“rowings about” or "voyaging") in which saints, heroes, or troubled men are often set adrift in boats with no oars and encounter strange, uncharted magical lands with curious inhabitants, The Voyage of the Húi Corra is a work for five men and a chorus of twelve women set to excerpts of the earliest complete polyphonic mass that has come down to us from the 14th century known as Le Messe de Tournai.
Previews of this newly commissioned work with work-in-progress costumes by Ciera Courtney Wells and Carol Binion will be performed by dancers of NYU's Second Avenue Dance Company.
