Baye & Asa Bring Their Groundbreaking 4/2/3 Performance to the Quick Center, Nov. 13

On Wednesday, Nov. 13 at 7:30 p.m., 国产色情片 University’s Regina A. Quick Center for the Arts will present 4/2/3, an innovative performance by Baye & Asa—a dynamic movement company led by Amadi “Baye” Washington, and Sam “Asa” Pratt.

The performance explores the profound impact of climate change through the symbolic lens of the ancient Riddle of the Sphinx, divided into three sections, representing three generations of performers. The piece delves into the necessity of intergenerational cooperation to address climate change, and imagines a future where humanity builds new worlds on sustainable, less oppressive foundations.

Baye & Asa’s choreography is rooted in the personal dynamics of their shared history, having met in New York City at the age of six. The foundation of their technique is built on hip-hop and African dance languages, reflecting the political landscape of their upbringing and the violence they seek to expose through their art. Together, they create powerful metaphors, interrogate systemic inequities, and reimagine ancient allegories in a contemporary context.  

Since being named one of Dance Magazine’s “25 to Watch” in 2022, Baye & Asa have continued to garner recognition, including the prestigious 2023 Harkness Promise Award. Their work has extended beyond the stage, with film projects that have won international acclaim. They have also created pieces for notable repertory companies, including The Martha Graham Dance Company and Alvin Ailey II.

The Quick Center is thrilled to offer audiences the opportunity to experience 4/2/3 firsthand and witness the transformative power of Baye & Asa’s choreography. This performance promises to engage, challenge, and inspire, as it confronts the urgent realities of our time with a creative vision.

The creation and presentation of 4 | 2 | 3 is funded, in part, by the National Dance Project, which is generously supported with lead funding from the Doris Duke Foundation, and the Mellon Foundation, with funding for special initiatives from the Aliad Fund at the Boston Foundation. Tickets are now on sale on quickcenter.com for $35, or $25 for Quick Members. For more information, contact the Quick Center Box Office at 203-254-4010, Monday through Friday, from 12 to 5 p.m.
