About the show: VLA DANCE has worked with Hibernian Hall since 2019 hosting our rehearsals, classes and the Summer Movement Series within the space. This is the first year we are presenting a show in collaboration with Hibernian Hall's Director Haris Lefteri. "ALIVE" is an immersive dance theater epic combining the vivid storytelling of theater and the rigorous and intentional movement of contemporary dance.
