Composer...Alexander’s breathtaking score…tenses and relaxes, tenses and relaxes, until you’re on the literal edge of your seat. It’s master work, the heartbeat of the show.
The World Premiere of Meditations on Nationalism opened to rave reviews on June 21, 2018, at the Emmanuel Episcopal Church in the Mount Vernon district of Baltimore. The show explored the topic of oppressive nationalism by unpacking, exploring, physicalizing and meditating on the subject, which has seeped into our national consciousness in the wake of the 2016 election.
