Saint Louis Dance Theatre’s season of love languages culminates in its spring series, featuring a profound examination of human connection. The weekend features the company premiere of Stephanie Martinez’s kiss., which has been described by the choreographer as “my love letter” to the fundamental human need “to be seen, to be heard and to be honored.” The mesmerizing work emerged during the COVID-19 pandemic when connection was most precious, and it uses movement as a language to express vulnerability and intimacy.
