Top of PagePrinces Of Darkness
Synopsis:
This show is part of the Dream Up Festival. This is the official blurb: Princes of Darkness is a blending of the Hamlet, Oedipus, and Dracula stories. Your host for the journey is none other than Lucifer. Satan's question is, "If God is so great, why is the world such a mess?" He proposes an unusual and extreme remedy for the problem. the mood of the evening? a shadowy dungeon full of sultry glamor, and a hint of whiskey in the air. the sounds? Tons of Phillip-Glass-sounding stuff, with hints of spaghetti western meloDrama a-la-ennio-Morricone. the movement/dance? the well-known mixture of Klein irony, energy, and a variety of dance genres.
