Since 1987, the PearsonWidring Dance Theatre, led by artistic directors Sara Pearson and Patrik Widrig, has gained an international following for work which transforms the familiar into the mysterious, the subversive, and the intimate, creating and presenting "American dance theater at its funniest and most compelling" (NZZ, Switzerland).

The company will present Katrina, Katrina: Love Letters to New Orleans, a full-evening dance/theater/video "live documentary" which addresses and embodies the unfathomable loss and love felt by so many, as well as chronicling the historical, political and personal decisions that are affecting the recovery of individuals and the city itself. All text and video are continually evolving as the work tours from city to city. The Washington Post calls it "heart-wrenching and wryly comic."
