Dance NOW! Miami Program III Closes Season With Performance In Lake Worth

Date & Time

Lake Worth, FL 33461 GET DIRECTIONS

The spring season of dance in South Florida would not be complete without a final outstanding series of performances from Dance NOW! Miami. This leading contemporary company brings their Program III on Thursday, May 11 to Lake Worth's Duncan Theatre. The performanceswill feature a restaging of Joffrey Ballet's boundary-breaking work, “The Relativity of Icarus,” and the world premiere of Dance Now’s own new piece, “Gli Altri/The Others.”

The first features choreography by Gerald Arpino, and is an athletic male duet from 1974 that 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 second, choreographed by Dance Now Co-Artistic Directors Hannah Baumgarten and Diego Salterini, marries filmmaker Federico Fellini’s cinematic imagery with confessional storytelling to create unique symbolism, and a gender fluid cast.
