Choreographer, filmmaker, dancer, and recipient of a 2019 John Simon Guggenheim Fellowship, Pontus Lidberg has established himself as a visionary artist who blends dance and film. This academic year, Pontus is serving as an artist-in-residence with Harvard Medical School’s Media, Medicine, and Health program, based at ArtLab.

This event will include a discussion with Pontus after the screening of his short film, Labyrinth Within. Described as a haunting exploration of jealousy, this existential thriller features a couple and an elusive lover in a series of intense pas de deux inside a stark apartment that acts as a fourth character. Danced to a commissioned score by composer David Lang, with solo cello by Maya Beiser, the work features NYCB principal Wendy Whelan, Giovanni Bucchieri, and Pontus Lidberg himself. It won the 2012 Dance on Camera Festival Jury Prize for Best Picture: color, HD, 28.5 minutes. RSVP recommended

Parking: Please note that ArtLab does not have parking, and area street parking is limited. Rideshare and public transit are recommended.
