THE MISSING GENERATION gives voice to long time survivors of the early AIDS epidemic, through full-throttle dance, luscious partnering, intimate storytelling and theater. This powerful show is a love letter to a forgotten generation of survivors – those who witnessed and experienced the loss of part of an entire generation of gay and transgender people to AIDS in the 1980s and 1990s. Sean Dorsey created the work over a 2-year period by traveling across the US to record oral history interviews with long time survivors of the early AIDS epidemic, host community residencies, and conduct extensive archival research.
Sean Dorsey is the nation’s first acclaimed TRANSGENDER contemporary dance choreographer. With his signature fusion of contemporary dance, storytelling and theater, Dorsey is blazing a trail celebrated by critics and sold-out audiences alike. Highly physical, accessible, rooted in story, and danced with precision and guts and deep humanity, Dorsey’s works have been praised as “exquisite…poignant and important” (BalletTanz), “trailblazing” (San Francisco Chronicle) and “evocative, compelling, elegant” (LA Weekly).
