  Description:

Love on Mars, choreographed by Hannah Schwadron, 
MFA candidate in Dance, features shifting tempos 
of chaos, escape, euphoria, and fear. It imagines 
the labors of displacement and relocation, 
choreographing a Jewish refugee history, literally en route.

Sponsored by the Department of Dance.

Details
Love on Mars imagines "space" as a projected 
reality where fantasy intends to reveal the truly 
weird ways we think and act in the world. 
Projections of outer space and the possibility of 
romance on Mars envision an illogical world that 
starts to look more familiar than not. Known for 
its toxic soil and harsh conditions unfit for 
humans, the planet named for war sets a strange 
scene for looking at our own visions of 
expansion, empire, and manifest destiny. Science 
fiction tropes of space travel reflect an 
absurdist journey marked by specific references 
to the escape of the choreographer's grandmother 
from Nazi Germany during the years of WWII. 
Through imagery that evokes the conflicting 
feelings and tempos of chaos, escape, euphoria, 
power and fear, Love on Mars aims to embody the 
complexities of migration, displacement, and the 
labors of relocation, telling a refugee history, literally en route.

Biography

a four-time award recipient of the Gluck Fellows 
Program of the Arts, through which she has 
presented original choreography to local 
audiences and offered community-based arts 
programming for over two years. Hannah has

York-based choreographer, Yin Mei, and has taught
