Fractured Dawn
A story of Love and Power
told in dance, music, verse, and film.
What would you do if the person you loved most became the thing you had to stand against?

The Crone Universe continues to unfold, and this November, we invite you deeper into the mythology.
This is the creation story. The origin of the schism.
We take you to the event that sets the universe of CRONE in to motion: the moment before the fracture, when the world stood together…
before love became a weakness and power became a weapon.
Red Nightfall Dance Theatre is a home for visionary artists working at the edges of their disciplines. We gather dancers, musicians, filmmakers, designers, and poets to create experiences that transcend traditional performance, inviting audiences into living mythology.
We are proud to collaborate with our dear friends, the adventurous chamber music collective Density512. The repertoire includes works by Stravinsky, Khatchaturian, Rameau, and local Austin composer Stephen Savage, played live on Piano, Violin, and Clarinet.
With each performance, our work deepens and our community grows. This November, we reunite with costume designer Robby Durand of EmmaSis Designs (who we met at Rituals of Light), and welcome poet David Burns as our narrative guide. The evening also features a new short film created by Artistic Director Dorothy O’Shea Overbey, produced by Whitney Rowlett and edited by Aaron Sherry.
And, as always, we invite the audience to join us in our process, live-devising new choreography on the spot!
