Hydro Parade travels a meditative, rhythmic journey through the Museum and around its various fountains and water features.
Artist, choreographer, and dancer Madeline Hollander's new piece, Hydro Parade, is a processional performance inspired by the water sources moving under, within, and around The Met.
On Saturday, June 10 and 17, Hydro Parade travels a meditative, rhythmic journey through the Museum and around its various fountains and water features, as dancers create a continuous stream of movement that flows through the galleries.
Hollander connects the ancient waterways of the hidden underground springs and the Old Croton Aqueduct, which still run beneath the Museum, to the activity and circulation of visitors in the galleries above.
Performers: Eva Alt, Antuan Byers, Andrew Champlin, Eloise de Luca, Marielis Garcia, Katie Gaydos, Morgan Griffin, Miguel Guzman, Leah Ives, Amanda Kmett'Pendry, Cori Kresge, Lauren Newman, Jeremy Pheiffer, Raymond Pinto, Huiwang Zhang.
