| German/American/Turkish choreographer Nejla Yatkin, recently awarded the 2023 Guggenheim Fellowship and the 2022 DCASE Esteemed Artist Award, will surprise Gala attendees as Firebird/Phoenix in the beautiful Dank Haus Märchenwald on May 6th. In many myths and cultures, the Firebird/Phoenix is a messenger of hope, purifying the land and sea, bestowing fertility wherever it lands. In addition, the mythical creature represents the union between the Earth and the Sky serving as the mediator and messenger between the two. .png) |
