Cirène: Multimedia Fairy Tales June 16, 2012

Cirène's artists and musicians reimagine timeless tales from the Arab lands and craft them into presentations of dance, music, live painting, and animation. Magical images are projected behind the performers and spring to life in unexpected ways.

The ensemble consists of: violinist Colin Jacobsen (Metropolitan Museum Artists in Concert, The Knights, Brooklyn Rider)); cellist Eric Jacobsen (The Knights, Brooklyn Rider); dancer Maile Okamura (Mark Morris Dance Group); percussionist Shane Shanahan (Silk Road Ensemble, Glen Velez's Handance Ensemble); and painter/animator Kevork Mourad (who has also collaborated with the Silk Road Ensemble).

Ages recommended: 3-110
