Invaders of the Heart 2024: The Return (Santa Fe)

  • Friday, May 24th and Saturday, May 25th

Invaders of the Heart 2024: The Return is a multimedia dance theater production from renowned choreographer and director Myra Krien, featuring the Mosaic Dance Company, the Starbelly Dancers, Drake Von Trapp, and Kamrah. By exploring sacred symbols of rebirth, renewal, ecstasy, and our inextricable interconnectedness with the natural world, The Return looks to the past as a touchstone for examining our present and building our collective future. With prominent artist Michael’s Bergt paintings as a striking backdrop for the dance, this collaboration is both visually stunning and powerfully prescient for these times.
