Medusa, a stunning new work by James Wallace, is being produced in collaboration by David Taylor Dance Theatre and the Colorado Chamber Players. This tragic Greek myth tells the story of Medusa, a beautiful young girl, caught in the wrath of Athena, after being discovered having an affair with Poseidon. Athena transforms Medusa into the snake haired creature that turns anyone to stone who catches her gaze. It features the haunting and powerful music of Caplet, Shostakovich, and Schulhoff, performed live by the String Quartet and Harpist Lynne Abbey-Lee of the Colorado Chamber Players. The program will also feature "The Storm", a dracula pas deux, "Araignee" a duet of dueling black widow spiders by Gary Abbot, Bats and Spirits from David Taylor's "Rainforest", and a new work by Amy Anderson to Camille Saint-Saens “Danse Macabre”. Don't miss this frightfully exciting show full of spooky Halloween surprises.
