Battery Dance Festival welcomes back choreographer Minsu Kim from Theater Plauen, Zwickau Germany, presenting a duet, “Eden” on Wednesday, August 13th and Thursday, August 14th at 7 pm each evening.
Choreographer Minsu Kim will be joined by Ayane Nakamura, both members of Theater Plauen – Zwickau Ballet Ensemble, in presenting “Eden”, a new duet that plays with the concept that “Reality may be nothing more than illusion filtered through our senses.” Minsu’s innovation and virtuosity was on view in last year’s Festival and led to the invitation to bring more of his work to the downtown audience in New York City’s longest-running free public dance festival. Admission is free to the public. Feel free to bring lawn chairs, blankets and/or a picnic!
Date and Time: August 12 – 16, 2025
Location: Rockefeller Park, Battery Park City, North End @ Chambers Street
