About the show
Gregory Hancock Dance Theatre closes its 2021-2022 performance season with the world premiere of Antony and Cleopatra. This new full-length, grand work will again pair the talents of GHDT’s Artistic Director Gregory Hancock and award-winning composer Cory Gabel, known for his evocative musical score for GHDT’s The Casket Girls. GHDT’s Antony and Cleopatra is a contemporary retelling of the classic tale and is set in “anytime” and “any place.” This story of power, intrigue, and passion has been inspired by one of the most charismatic and powerful women of all time. This adaptation is a contemporary retelling set in two rival nightclubs. While exploring the complex and interpersonal relationships of these intriguing characters, Mr. Hancock uses movement and music to explore and discover how our human choices impact the stories of our lives.
Mature audiences recommended.
