Boston Dance Theater performs Red is a feeling—an evening of short dance works woven together by the color red that highlight themes of the human experience including love, longing, and the fight to live. Choreographer Roya Carreras Fereshtehnejad presents a work inspired by her cancer diagnosis. Jessie Jeanne Stinnett’s Fifties is inspired by popular tunes of the decade. If As If by choreographer Itzik Galili is a duet in which the color red signifies a personal struggle with body, mind, space, time, memory, and history. Choreographer Marco Goecke’s take on Firebird is set to Stravinksy’s 1910 score and captivates the audience with a nuanced yet explosive journey of companionship.
