I got an email yesterday from the folks (The Free Impresarios) who presented the opera group, Suor Angelica, in Park Slope last year. I was delighted to hear that they're up to their old tricks again and are presenting a dance performance once again in the auditorium of St. Francis Xavier on President Street.
This Saturday, November 14, at 7:30 PM, SYREN dance performs "the last of the leaves," a highly physical dance, which uses the driving and churning
idiosyncrasies of John Adam’s
“Shaker Loops" to explore the mysteries surrounding the cycles of human
life. Birth, illness, death, and the different energies needed to
experience them, are points of departure for this piece as eight
dancers journey through qualities both distant and tender."
At St. Francis Xavier Auditorium in Park Slope November 14, at 7:30PM.
736 President Street. ONE NIGHT ONLY. Tickets:
$20 (cash only at the door. More information: info@syrendance.org
1907 school auditorium of St. Francis Xavier on President Street is the
venue, with its glorious stained glass ceiling, beautifully decorated
walls and historic murals. I've lived in Park Slope since 1967 and I never knew what was inside that building!
is only one performance, the very reasonable tickets benefit the dance
company and help the school via the rental. This time, tickets are
available in advance!
