HR2: Cowboy
The Cowboy can’t sleep – bad goddam dreams. The Cowboy is on the move. The Cowboy is alone, cooking beans over a fire. The Cowboy reflects on his aging body and the scars of a life that has taken its toll. Was it worth it? A ferocious and athletic blend of contemporary dance, dynamic music, multisensory performance, and physical theater, Cowboy celebrates the struggles and the joys of this iconic American archetype, and of all of us who wonder if we are still quick enough on the draw to win one last shootout.
Cowboy will premiere at the Royal Family Performing Arts Space on August 22-24, 2026.
