The Oakland Ballet Company is set to embark on a powerful new project that blends art, history, and cultural memory. In a unique site-specific performance on Angel Island, the company will honor the stories of immigrants who passed through the historic U.S. Immigration Station. Through movement and music, the ballet aims to bring new light to the experiences of those who faced hardship, hope, and resilience on the island often referred to as the “Ellis Island of the West.”
Mark your calendars for a single performance, May 4 at the Paramount Theatre in Oakland, where 12 dancers, 16 singers, a string quartet, and a conductor will transport the audience to an entirely new dimension.
