A Single Ride is an evening-length multimedia dance show that explores the complex relationships between New Yorkers and the subway. Riding the train can evoke some of our most primitive emotions, anger and frustration, or it can stir in us what makes us most human, our compassion and empathy. Choreographer Ephrat “Bounce” Asherie reflects on these emotions by fusing the underground styles of breaking, house and vogue with a contemporary aesthetic. She asks the fundamental questions: Where are we going? Where do we come from? And, where is that train?
