The Seldoms collaborate with the Chicago Botanic Garden to present the North Shore premiere of Superbloom.
Superbloom is a multi-media dance work about radical beauty, wildness and wildflowers. With spectacular costuming and animation, this hyper-visual work stages the fantastic color of the rare wildflower phenomenon. Superbloom aims for splendor as a mirror of the sublime beauty of the natural world and posits awe as a mode of reconnecting to nature, and to one another. Superbloom was given a standing ovation at its 2023 premiere at the Harris Theater for Music and Dance, and audience members have been asking for the return of this vividly gorgeous performance work!
