The Day at UCLA Campus

Dancer Wendy Whelan, one of the stars of the New York City Ballet, is widely considered one of the world's leading ballerinas. World-renowned avant-garde cellist Maya Beiser, has been described as "a force of nature" by The Boston Globe and a "rock star" by Rolling Stone. Together with iconic modern dance choreographer Lucinda Childs and Pulitzer Prize-winning composer David Lang, they have joined forces to create an evocative, bold, highly collaborative new work entitled THE DAY. A meditation on two journeys — the mortal passage of time, followed by the eternal, post-mortal voyage of the soul — THE DAY explores universal themes not easily grappled with— memory, aging, death and the survival of the soul — through the lens of mundane daily calendar appointments and the visceral, poetic languages of music and dance.
