Buglisi Dance Theatre February 15, 2011

Choreographer Jacqulyn Buglisi, a passionate descendant of Martha Graham, moves us with sublime images that touch the heart and embrace the soul. In the world premiere of Letters of Love on Ripped Paper, Buglisi reveals the rapture and human complexity underlying human relationships through a labyrinth of love letters: Pliny to Calpurnia; Queen Victoria to Prince Albert; Zelda to Scott. The magnificent dancers, expressionistic theatricality and Daniel Brewbaker's original score are captivating. Filled with compassion, Buglisi's Requiem is set to Fauré's soaring Mass and revered for being "extravagant and beautiful." (The New York Times)
