Moreechika is an evening-length dance piece fueled by mirages and violent histories, and the tremendous courage and hope of some women.

We invite your support for Ananya Dance Theatre (ADT) as we raise $3,000 to integrate an epic scenic design into our performances of "Moreechika, Season of Mirage," an original, evening-length work, with commissioned live music.

The premiere United States performances will take place at the Southern Theater in Minneapolis in September 2012, following the world premiere in Port of Spain, Trinidad, this July.

In "Moreechika," we explore themes of systemic violence against women that arise from the extraction and consumption of oil throughout the world. To help tell our danced story, we will create large-scale puppets that will perform on stage to instigate and interact with the human dancers.

The puppets will visually draw together ideas of mirage, history, human actions, and responsibility. They are designed to be "bigger than life" in order to serve as repositories of shared history and dispensers of wisdom that inspire calls to action.

Your support will play a critical role in securing the materials and labor to design and create these performing puppet props that will elevate the thematic expression of our work.

The rewards will provide meaningful opportunities for you to engage with our dancers about their investigation into one set of systemic factors that give rise to violence against women.

Can we please count on your support?
