PEAK Performances at Montclair State University presents the U.S. premiere of Tzeni Argyriou's ANΩNYMO

Conceived and choreographed by Argyriou, ANΩNYMO traverses ancient modes of expression, rooted in human contact, holding, group cohesion, and shared joy. A response to digital media's transformation and diminishment of physical communication, and its intensification of our individualist impulses, ANΩNYMO finds humanity and catharsis in the collective.
