This is my first time seeing this company and the work was interesting and polished. Both pieces were long and integrated text/story telling which kept the interest going and kept the works from actually feeling long. Beautiful dancers and the addition of the boys choir was wonderful. I'd go see this company again.

Spotty dancing, intrusive narration, smarmy themes. Beautiful video projections, though.

a very rich multi media experience. The first half was quite long, and it was difficult to see the correlation between the spoken text and the choreography.

Description

Fable & Faith is an exciting new work created by choreographer Robert Moses in collaboration with playwright Anne Galjour to explore imagination, creativity and identity through the metaphor of myth and fables.

Award winning lighting and video designer Elaine Buckholtz  will transform the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts’ Novellus Theatre with her stunning light and video installations. Fable & Faith features composer Matthew Harris’ “Shakespeare Songs”, excerpts from Mozart’s “Requiem," as well as composition/musical arrangements by former lead guitarist of Blondie, Paul Carbonara. San Francisco Boys Chorus will perform live music for the YBCA premiere of the work.

The company also performs The Cinderella Principle (2010), a multi-media exploration into non-traditional family structures.
