In his newest work, Moses(es), Reggie Wilson examines the multiple iterations of the Moses story—secular, religious and mythical—to ask: how do we lead and why do we follow?

Reggie Wilson’s Moses(es), an evening-length piece co-commissioned by The Dance Center, explores our relationship to leadership and the effects of migration on beliefs and customs. Grounded in Zora Neale Hurston’s novel Moses, Man of the Mountains, and arising out of Wilson’s exploratory travels to Israel, Egypt, Turkey and Mali, the work looks at diasporic movement out of Africa and into the rest of the world through the lens of Moses stories in their various cross-cultural and cross-faith interpretations.
