Dark Night: An Immersive 12-Hour Solo Tap Performance to Honor The Enduring Spirit

Andrew Nemr performs Dark Night, a free 12-hour solo tap dance at TRICA in Boise, ID August 8-9. This world premiere explores enduring without preparation.

BOISE, ID, UNITED STATES, July 29, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- On Friday, August 8, 2025 internationally renowned tap dancer Andrew Nemr will present Dark Night, a 12-hour immersive solo tap dance performance at TRICA (1406 W Eastman St, Boise, ID). Free and open to the public, this event explores the profound and often silent journey through the Dark Night of the Soul—a time when our orientation is stripped away and we are called to endure without preparation. This is a world premiere event and will likely not happen again in this form.

Inspired by the writings of 16th-century poetry of St. John of the Cross, Dark Night brings this spiritual and emotional journey to life through improvised tap dance, immersive projections, and interactive installations. Audience members are invited to move freely through the space, engaging at their own pace with the performance, visual prompts, and contemplative environments.

“What happens when we are called to endure a thing we have not specifically trained to for?” asks creator and performer Andrew Nemr. “This piece is a space to honor the quiet heroism of those who keep going, even in darkness.” Visitors can attend for any length of time during the 12-hour experience.
