Monteleone Dance is coming to the Hudson Guild Theatre, presented by The Moving Beauty Series.

The company will have its world premiere of Y0UN1VERSE on June 11 3 pm, featuring the innovative movement vocabulary and multimedia work by Joe Monteleone and Visual Barz LLC, in a split-bill with The Dancing Georgina Project.

"Y0UN1VERSE" reveals a fictional society's attempt to make sense of its crumbling virtual reality. Joe Monteleone's unprecedented movement invention interacts with video projection to illustrate the manipulation of personal reality tunnels and hermetic philosophy in a dystopian cyber zeitgeist. An elaborate arsenal of movement and video projection abstract this digital catastrophe.

A limited number of tickets are available for the performance on June 11. Tickets at danceseries.org (click "Monteleone Dance"). For more information, visit www.monteleonedance.com.

Monteleone Dance is a research based Dance Company that presents highly cerebral multimedia dance works. The company and its Artistic Director, Joe Monteleone, are committed to the innovation of intricate movement vocabulary, developing new multivalent movement methodologies, and synthesizing the two to create multimedia performance. The artists navigate various subject matters, often investigating the beclouded realm between man and machine, individual and system. The work confronts the human experience, analyzing and probing the human psyche in the context of today's technological zeitgeist and cultural fabric. The company has performed extensively in New York City, as well as nationally and internationally.
