Join us for the premiere of Lente by 773 Dance Project. Choreographers Tyler Thompson and Pauline Mosley, along with the 2026 performing company, aim to bring awareness to 773's audience about the ongoing cobalt mining crisis in The Democratic Republic of the Congo. Lente is an attempt to empathize with those dealing with the impacts of the greed that fuels the cobalt crisis.
The show will also include the premiere of The Difference, a solo work performed to the classic What A Difference A Day Makes by Chicago legend Dinah Washington. Wonder and Heft from the 773 Dance Project repertoire will be performed as well.
