Between Worlds at New World Stages from 4 Mar

Siudy: Between Worlds ('Siudy: Entre Mundos'), a first-of-its-kind Flamenco fantasia, will have its Off-Broadway premiere at New World Stages theatre this spring.

Created by Grammy-nominee Pablo Croce (director/producer) and Siudy (choreographer/performer), Between Worlds explores a new form of story-telling that incorporates Flamenco dancing with percussion. The limited engagement is scheduled to open at New World Stages' Stage 1 on 20 Mar 2011, following previews from 4 Mar, and close on 22 May 2011.

Press notes for Between Worlds describes the show as bursting "through artistic and cultural boundaries, transporting us to a future where water has all but disappeared and desperate tribes war with each other and the elements for survival. Only one force is powerful enough to save humanity from itself -- love. Twenty-two performers from around the globe drum and dance in a kinetic and provocative blend of Flamenco, urban dance and percussion to create a multi-sensory theatrical experience for the whole family."
