Three Fates - MN Dance Festival
Three Fates examines the liminal space between free will, the impact of decisions, and fate. Emerging out of Hollenhorst’s fascination with two contradictory ideas existing in one place, this work borrows its title from Greek Mythology's weavers of destiny, the Three Fates or the Moirai. Embedded in an isolated environment, the movement ranges from minimal to dynamic and invites the viewer into a dreamlike atmosphere.
