Performer: Rosanna Gamson Worldwide

Rosanna Gamson/Worldwide's evening-length dance work is as much about the dance as the individuals in the dance.

Rosanna Gamson’s Layla Means Night, a riff on the Persian fable of Scheherazade, draws audiences into what program notes describe as “an immersive tour through a world of ritual violence and exquisite pleasure.” We were told to wear sensible shoes.
