Traditional Shakespeare plays and history become an American odyssey featuring original Afro-Cuban music, folkloric dance and classical ballet performances with a rich, diverse cast retelling a romance amid toxic times.
What if Florida was the backdrop for Romeo & Juliet and The Tempest-- Two Shakespearean classics—where lost kingdoms, dangerous romance and real mystery abound? Imagine no more!
This American odyssey from the 1600's comes alive through an original script adapted by Florida playwrights with a diverse cast of talented local actors and dancers. Audiences will be treated to folkloric choreography to rarely heard traditional music by Afro-Cuban artists introduced through breathtaking images from acclaimed Iranian born Swede and South Florida resident Painter, Karl Momen. Momen has painted and published a series of works inspired by William Shakespeare and the orchestral masterpieces of Richard Wagner.
Join us Friday, April 27, 2018 at the NSU Art Museum for a special engagement performance, reception and conversation with Karl Momen and the cast. Choreography and guest appearance by Dancer, Isanusi Garcia Rodriguez, previously Principal Dancer with the Miami City Ballet.
