Experience an evening of dance celebrating stories of the night sky from around the world in the Charles Hayden Planetarium!
This exciting collaborative performance of dance, light, and science features astronomy-based mythologies from China, Japan, Estonia, Greece, Puerto Rico, and Cape Verde, and beyond. Constellation Stories comprises contemporary performances by choreographer Merli V. Guerra and performers from Luminarium Dance Company; original music composition and live performance by Madeleine Shapiro (cellist, NYC), in collaboration with Andreas Bergsland (electronics, Norway); traditional Taíno solos by Chali'naru Dones and Vinny “Tata’niki” Iraheta; and a new work by Henoch Spinola; all honoring the night sky.
Merli V. Guerra’s PLACE Project (Presenting Landmarks through Artistic Community Engagement) is an annual event dedicated to celebrating cultural and historic landmarks through the integration of dance, history, and the arts. PLACE’s 2022-23 project was originally developed to celebrate Seymour Planetarium's 85th anniversary (the oldest planetarium in the country) at Springfield Science Museum in November 2022. Now, with a Live Arts Boston grant through The Boston Foundation, Constellation Stories expands into a full-evening production inside the famed Charles Hayden Planetarium at the Museum of Science, Boston.
This event is funded in part by a grant from the Springfield Cultural Council, a local agency which is supported by the Massachusetts Cultural Council, a state agency; and a Live Arts Boston grant through The Boston Foundation.
