Musician Perfume Genius (Mike Hadreas) collaborates with choreographer Kate Wallich for The Lesson, an intense live performance intertwining experimental pop and contemporary dance. Drawing inspiration from Elfriede Jelinek’s novel The Piano Teacher, the production navigates repression, power dynamics, and vulnerability through raw physical expression and unstable stage dynamics. The ensemble includes musical partner Alan Wyffels and longtime collaborator Tate Justus.
