MCLA's MOSAIC Presents 'ReWritten'
NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts (MCLA) and its public arts program, MOSAIC, will present "ReWritten," a multimedia dance-theater performance exploring the complex relationship between authors Herman Melville and Nathaniel Hawthorne.
The production will take place at MCLA's Venable Theater on Feb. 28 at 7 p.m. and March 1 at 2 p.m.
Blending dance, live music, visual art, projection, and theater, "ReWritten" reimagines an intergenerational queer love story through the lens of Melville and Hawthorne's remaining letters and literary influence. The performance explores themes of longing, artistic inspiration, and societal expectations.
Created and performed by dance artists Matthew Cumbie and Tom Truss, the show also features award-winning composer and bassist Summer Kodama, projection design by Roma Flowers, and scenic and lighting design by MOSAIC Director Jeremy Winchester.
Developed over four years, "ReWritten" has been shaped by residencies and collaborations with Berkshire arts organizations, including Arrowhead/Berkshire Historical Society, The Adams Theatre, and Berkshire Pulse.
Tickets are $10 for the general public, $5 for MCLA alumni, and free for current MCLA students, faculty, and staff. More information and ticket purchases are available at www.mcla.edu/mosaic.
