The Wild West meets ballet!
On April 9, the Covenant Ballet Theatre of Brooklyn revives its Wild West-inspired ballet, choreographed by Artistic Director Marla Hirokawa, and will present two new works.
The ever popular “Fool’s Gold” is a fairy tale about a young man who struggles with greed and lawlessness after becoming entangled with an evil spirit known as the Siren. Guest choreographer Matthew Westerby will premiere “The Red Scare,” a high energy dance set to music by Cut Chemist, a new wave technotronic group. Another new work, “Brought to Light,” also by Hirokawa, is inspired by medieval cathedral architecture and set to J.S. Bach’s majestic Passacaglia and Fugue in C minor.
Covenant Ballet Theatre of Brooklyn’s “On Track” program at the Kingsborough Performing Arts Center at Kingsborough Community College [2001 Oriental Blvd. at Decatur Avenue in Manhattan Beach, (718) 368-5596], April 9 at 2 pm and 8 pm.
