Cultural fusion at its finest, this weekend, on stage at DCPA's Ellie Caulkins Opera House: "Black Orpheus," presented by Cleo Parker Robinson Dance and Denver Arts & Venues. Thank you to @ColoradoPublicRadio Denverite arts journalist Eden Lane for sharing this story! Two performances only, THIS weekend: September 14, 7:30 p.m. and September 15, 2 p.m. Family friendly with live, vibrant music performed by Balé Folclórico da Bahia—guests here from Brazil! Spanning 6,000 years, the story of "Orfeo Negro" began in Greece, lived in Yoruba spirituality in West Africa, and traveled with enslaved Africans to Brazil where the pantheon of gods and goddesses became Candomblé. The dance is beautiful and the original score was created for its 2003 World Premiere, here in Denver at the Newman. Revived for 2024, this weekend only! It's great way to share "One Spirit, Many Voices" with your group—at work, your club, your school. We also have a Student Sampler version with a study guide. For group rates discounted at 6 or more, contact Micah@cleoparkerdance.org. For student presentations, contact Shelby@cleoparkerdance.org. Tickets at https://lnkd.in/g8fcBier https://lnkd.in/gefKkc5t
