See & Do - Dance: Remember Me October 19 2009
Fri., Oct. 23
New York-based Parsons Dance builds upon an impressive repertoire of artist collaborations – Julie Taymor, Annie Leibovitz, Donna Karan and Alex Katz, to name a few – when it tag teams with fellow New Yorkers East Village Opera Company for dance/rock opera REMEMBER ME. Parsons Dance’s high--velocity stage presence, marked by provocative contemporary and aerial dance, video, and visual effects, meets its match in East Village Opera Company, which takes classic opera arias – your standard Mozart, Puccini, Bach – and mashes them together with the raw sex and jam power of Jimi Hendrix. $20-$42. 8 p.m. Ferst Center for the Arts, 349 Ferst Drive. 404-894-9600. www.ferstcenter.gatech.edu.
