The Mark Morris Dance Group will visit Hancher Auditorium on Friday with their performance ‘Pepperland,’ a tribute to The Beatles’ Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band album. It will be their first time in Iowa City in 25 years.

Dancers costumed in fluorescent 60s’ style suits move in a trance-like dance to reworked music from the Beatles’ Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band. This is the Mark Morris Dance Group’s Pepperland – and they’ll be at Hancher Auditorium on Friday, Feb. 18.

The esteemed Mark Morris Dance Group hasn’t been to Iowa City in 25 years, and Chuck Swanson, Hancher’s Executive Director, is excited for their return.

“Mark Morris is a very important choreographer in the world today,” he said. “We’ve really presented over the years [in the world of dance] some of the best, some of the finest, and so yes, it’s time that we do bring Mark Morris in.”
