Socrates, set to music by Erik Satie, features tenor Jean-Paul Fouchécourt and pianist Colin Fowler.

Also on the program is “Behemoth” (1990), Morris’ only work performed in silence, which received its world premiere in Brussels while the company was in residency at Théâtre Royal de la Monnaie. This will be the Mark Morris Dance Group’s 22nd engagement at BAM.
