More Details About This Event:

Prometheus Dance was founded in 1987 by Ms. Noya and has become one of Massachusetts’ most outstanding and established modern dance companies, contributing quality dance performance, arts education and cultural service to the community. Named "One of the Year’s Ten Best in Dance" by The Boston Phoenix in 2006 and 2004, The Boston Herald in 2002 and The Boston Globe in 2000, the company performs extensively both nationally and internationally. Developed through a highly charged and theatrical choreographic style, the dances of Prometheus are visually beautiful, physically intimate and emotionally provocative ruminations about social issues and psychological intricacies. The company is known for its performances of the large-scale works Apokalypsis, concerning the worldwide refugee crisis; Dreams, based on Jungian symbolism; Impromptus & Intrigues, a modern setting of a Schubertiade; Devil's Wedding, a look at Muslim fundamentalism in modern society; and Anadimioupyia, exploring the beauty of Tourette's Syndrome; in OperaBoston's productions of Nixon in China, Alceste and The Pearl Fishers; repertory pieces performed to jazz, world and commissioned music; and outreach performances in public schools, homeless shelters and nursing homes.

Prometheus Dance has been produced in New York City by Joyce SoHo, New York University, Downtown Baca, La Mama, at Lincoln Center’s Out-of-Doors Festival and in Avery Fisher Hall with the Brooklyn Philharmonic; in Massachusetts by the Celebrity Series, OperaBoston, Dance Umbrella, Crash Arts, First Night, the Boston Center for the Arts, Emerson Stage, The Boston Conservatory, the Cambridge Multicultural Arts Center and The Yard; and in Connecticut by the New England Artists’ Trust Congress and the International Festival of Arts and Ideas.
