New WORLD Theater presents political dance theater!

New WORLD Theater presents political dance theater!

D-Projects Inc. in Scratch and Burn

 Scratch & Burn by D-Projects, Inc.
Written and directed by Teo Castellanos
with choreography by Company members and Ricardo “Speedy Legs” Fernandez

Thursday and Friday, February 14 & 15, 2008
8 pm Bowker Auditorium

This original theater piece explores war traditions and battle cries–using hip-hop vernacular and movement — begging the question, “when is war not the answer?” Using early Zulu rituals, elements of Butoh, Maori War Dance, Tibetan Buddhism and modern political war games, Scratch & Burn is a potent investigation of human nature and an incessant need to battle for supremacy and dominance.

Tickets are: $15-general public; $8-low income patrons/seniors; $5-students with valid ID. For tickets call FAC Box Office at 413-545-2511.
