Emio Greco|PC in [purgatorio] POPOPERA September 24, 2009

In choreographer Emio Greco’s collaboration with composer Michael Gordon (Bang on a Can), seven brilliant dancers oscillate along the seam between music and movement, performing to the point of utter exhaustion and ecstasy. Based on the structure of Dante’s Divine Comedy, POPOPERA is a richly potent netherworld of transition, transformation and purification.

Co-commissioned by the Clarice Smith Performing Arts Center.
Not recommended for children under 18.
The performance runs Sept. 24 and Sept. 25. There will be a Talk Back with the artists following each performance.
