Jersey City Theater Center is proud to present Cancer, Choreographed, a cathartic and participatory emotional journey into life, death, and dance.
Created by Romanian choreographers Cosmin Manolescu and Cristina Lilienfeld and based on an original text written by Cătălina Florescu, the dance is an exhilarating experience in the last moments of a man dealing with breast cancer.
The audience is welcomed into a special birthday celebration. The whole story unfolds into a series of performative episodes framed by an original soundtrack by Sabina Ulubeanu, a stunning visual projection by Cinty Ionescu, and live DJ-ing by Alexandros Raptis. Cancer Choreographed is co-presented in the U.S. by Jersey City Theatre Center and RCINYC.
Cancer, Choreographed will have its international premiere at Jersey City Theater Center on April 26, at 6PM, followed by a second performance at the Romanian Cultural Institute in New York on April 28th. Performed and an homage to International Dance Day, celebrated worldwide on April 29th, Cancer, Choreographed is a unique affirmation of the present moment as we deal and dance with (breast) cancer.
