Pitched at ISPA’s 2023 Manchester Congress, Prehistoric Body Theater’s Ghosts of Hell Creek is an embodied celebration of evolutionary ancestry, co-created with an all-Indonesian ensemble, melding Indonesian traditional dance with choreographic biomimicry guided by the science of paleontologists. This mesmerizing work eulogizes the raptors who perished in the Chicxulub asteroid impact 66 million years ago, while celebrating the survival of our earliest primate ancestors in a world born anew.
Ghosts of Hell Creek had its full-scale premiere at the Surakarta Grand Theater in September, 2024, and a smaller-scale version has its international premiere at the Jacob’s Pillow Dance Festival in June, 2025.
