The word “menagerie” derives from the French word menage, defined as a strange or diverse collection of people or things in a household unit. Menagerie was a collaboration between Deville Cohen and choreographer Shamel Pitts. The work explores the quixotic individuality of each of the six dancers of Gibney Dance Company. Taking cues from Tennessee Williams’s play The Glass Menagerie, Pitts and Cohen exaggerate the performers’ differences by researching movement that amplifies their sense of self, and then resurface the possibility of a space where each of them can live and thrive inside of a given collection of objects and environments, while negotiating their individuality.
