The spring season of dance in South Florida would not be complete without Dance NOW! Miami's final outstanding performance including the company’s critically acclaimed Masterpiece in Motion Series, reviving historic works from the 20th and 21st Century. This season the company is featuring Joffrey Ballet's boundary-breaking work, “The Relativity of Icarus.” Choreographed by Gerald Arpino in 1974, this athletic male duet uses the Daedalus and Icarus myths to express the tortured relationship between sons and fathers, with homoerotic overtones that were controversial for its time.
The evening will also include the world premiere from DNM Directors Baumgarten & Salterini of “Gli Altri/The Others.” This collaboration marries filmmaker Federico Fellini’s cinematic imagery with confessional storytelling to create unique symbolism, and a gender fluid cast, revealing stories of the hidden, the set aside, the unseen… the Others..
“The Relativity of Icarus,” part of DNM’s Masterpiece in Motion series will be reconstructed and restaged by Cameron Basden, former Joffrey dancer, and "repetiteur" for the Arpino Foundation. The piece, powerful and rarely seen, will be presented with the original score by Gerhard Samuel. The South Florida dates are part of the centennial celebration of Arpino’s birth with performances of his ballets around the world.
“Gli Altri/The Others”, choreographed by Dance NOW! Artistic Directors Hannah Baumgarten and Salterini, will feature a gender fluid cast of characters creating a magical safe space on stage where life, death, joy, despair, love and loss are entwined in the work's non-linear narrative. The performance features music based on the iconic sounds of Nino Rota (best known for his multiple collaborations with Fellini and for the Godfather films) reimagined by long-time Dance NOW! composer Davidson Jaconello. “Gli Altri/The Others” is a collaboration with Italy's Opus Ballet, and will be performed in Florence jointly in July of 2023.
Tickets for Duncan and Aventura are $50 reserved seating, and $20 for students with valid ID. Tickets for Broward are $50 reserved seating, $20 for students with valid ID, and early bird special $25 for all until April 1.
