Dance NOW! Miami Artistic Director Hannah Baumgarten reimagines Miss Havisham, the infamous character from Charles Dickens’ Great Expectations providing a compassionate backstory to this much-hated literary villain who was never even afforded a first name. Conceived from a female perspective, with the stunning backdrop of the Ancient Spanish Monastery to help tell the story, audiences will roam through the Western Hemisphere’s oldest building for this site-specific, interactive dance theater piece, accompanied by the sounds of the South Beach Chamber Ensemble with music from Bartok to Adele. 

This program is sponsored by the State of Florida Division of Arts & Culture and the Miami Dade Department of Cultural Affairs.
