Rolling on a River

Continuing the tradition of bringing the world’s performers to its stages, the Carnival Center presents Yin Mei in Nomad: The River. A dancer and choreographer borne of China’s cultural revolution, Yin Mei combines traditional Asian performance and Western contemporary dance theater to visually re-create societal themes. She has won many awards and accolades for her unique style of interpretation, which the New York Times calls “a striking visual sense and an authoritative way with social and literary themes.” Nomad is a multimedia dance-theater piece that mingles natural and electronic sounds with light and dance to invoke the imagery of China’s Yellow River and India’s Ganges.
