Five dancers/actors will take on the roles of an infamous royal family in the midst of tremendous discord that has a terrible outcome.
About the Artists:stringdance+media’s mission is to create visual art pieces that investigate the human condition by examining philosophical, historical and formal ideas. stringdance+media invites collaboration with painters and sculptors as well the construction of elaborate costumes and props in the creation of both physical art pieces and time-based works for film or performance. Ballet-based dances, narrative threads, and figures placed in unusual surroundings are united in videos, photographs and dance-theater pieces.
