A journey through a crisscrossing map with four titans of their craft

Ashwini Ramaswamy + Kevork Mourad: Invisible Cities reimagines Italo Calvino’s metaphysical novel through a stunning synthesis of kinetic and visual storytelling. Featuring 13 dancers, Invisible Cities is grounded in four distinct forms led by a dynamic group of artists—Ranee, Aparna, and Ashwini Ramaswamy (Bharatanatyam), Berit Ahlgren (Gaga), Alanna Morris (Modern), Joseph ‘MN Joe’ Tran (Breaking)—and visual artist Kevork Mourad, who creates Invisible Cities’ interactive, immersive projections and illustrations.

Livestreamed: PAY AS YOU ARE

In order to make our performances more accessible, The Cowles Center is excited to join other Twin Cities performing arts organizations and begin implementing PAY AS YOU ARE throughout the season. PAY AS YOU ARE pricing asks those who routinely pay the fair market value for tickets to choose to pay that amount. If an audience member needs to pay less, they can choose to pay less – as little as $5 per ticket, while those who are able to pay above market price are welcome to do so.

IN THE PRESS

“Ramaswamy’s imagination had united and flourished, making space, not just for more generations but for more ways of thinking.”
