Tom Caravaglia

“The phenomenon of life and death
was performed with breathtaking
vitality and energy.”

Der Toggenburger, Switzerland

• HereAfter explores people’s relationship to life and death and what comes next, to beginnings and endings — of a life, a relationship, a job, a building, a passion. Finding words for the unspoken, and movement and music that fills the heart, the universal experience of love and loss are broken wide open with curiosity, compassion, and humor.

• Bessie award winning composer Robert Een created the original score.

“A tough-tender dance, staged with wise theatricality.”

The Village Voice

HereAfter is offered as a company only performance and/or with community involvement. Live music desirable whenever possible. Movement and text grow out of the intimate and inspiring atmosphere of the workshops led by Pearson and Widrig.
