Malashock is reimaging a legacy in dance Malashock Dance is reinterpreting past works and introducing new ones in ‘ReGenerate’

THE WE OF ME is a new take on John Malashock’s early choreographic work, Stan’s Retreat, which derived its storyline from the novel The Heart is a Lonely Hunter, by Carson McCullers. THE WE OF ME draws its inspiration from the colorful and dramatic life of McCullers herself. It is populated with the most impactful characters in her world and follows themes that were dominant in her work and in her life – spiritual isolation; loneliness; the role of the misfit; obsessive desire; unrequited love; and gender ambiguity.

Through her own life experiences and difficulties, she held an abiding love for her stories’ flawed characters and portrayed them with profound humanity. The title, THE WE OF ME refers to a line from McCullers’ The Member of the Wedding, which expresses her (and everyone’s) yearning to feel a sense of belonging to something beyond themselves.

The We of Me premieres at ReGenerate - May 2 & 3 at the Joan & Irwin Jacobs Performing Arts Center in Liberty Station. Tickets & More Details: https://malashockdance.org/events/regenerate/

Speaking with John about the creation of Where the Arrow Landed sparked Christopher’s fascination with the idea of trajectory: what it means to send something out into the world without knowing where it will land, who it will affect, or what shape it may take over time.

Those conversations led Christopher to reflect on stories he heard growing up, from Catholic prayers imagined as arrows sent toward God or the afterlife, to Native Hawaiian traditions in which spirits (‘uhane) leap from cliffs into Pō, the dark of creation, and the underworld known as Lua-o-Milu.

Having lost both of his parents in recent years, Christopher has been thinking deeply about preparation for the afterlife and the spaces between worlds across many cultural traditions: Hanakeaumoe, Bardo, Limbo, and Sheol. What do we conjure in this realm to help a spirit transition to another? Images of sunrise, dusk settling into gloaming, and the symbolic power of white as a color of transition and rebirth recur throughout the work.

Trajectory explores these questions and images, asking not only where the arrow lands, but what remains after impact.
