the longest distance

50 minutes | The Longest Distance is an evening-length work that looks at the fundamental human desire for connection to the self and to others. Merging contemporary dance, earthy, organic tango, and live music that reimagines American and Latin popular songs, The Longest Distance moves on a journey towards the intimate and the visceral.
