2014 Season
1st Annual Contemporary Performance Diasporas Festival
May 9-11, 2014
The performance pieces in this festival derive from diverse cultural roots, but all share their common development in the fertile ground of the San Francisco Bay Area, known for its spirit of collaboration and cross-pollination.
The works presented in this year’s Contemporary Performance Diasporas Festival focus on live ensemble and solo performances, dance, music, performance art, and film. Many of these works are still being developed and are being presented for the first time.
This cross-cultural, interdisciplinary festival is a natural outgrowth of Inferno’s mission to link cultures and explore human relationships in space and time.
