This look absolutely amazing…
"Ocean… is a gorgeous spectacle, conceptually complex yet sensuously gratifying ….Like the sea itself, Ocean teems with life."–The New York Times
Experience Merce Cunningham and John Cage’s monumental Ocean like never before–inside a granite quarry 100 feet below the earth’s surface. This once-in-a-lifetime production of Cunningham’s most ambitious work, produced in such an audacious and breathtaking manner, involves not just the full 14-member Cunningham company, but an electronic score by David Tudor, and Andrew Culver’s orchestral score inspired by John Cage, performed by 150 classical instrumentalists from the St. Cloud Symphony Orchestra, along with other guest players from across the state of Minnesota who will encircle the audience at the bottom of the quarry.
