Perishable Theatre presents 'Scratch & Burn'
On Friday February 22, Perishable Theatre, will present Scratch & Burn, a hip-hop dance theatre performance about primal urges and the battle for supremacy and domination.
"Scratch & Burn is a combination of dance elements from ancient Zulu, Maori, and butoh rituals with movements from hip-hop and urban street combat to create a powerful, gripping and immensely entertaining dance theater work about our primal urge to battle for supremacy and domination. With live African drumming, a megaton soundtrack and dramatic effects with lighting, props, costumes and video projection, five male dancers assume various roles and rarely leave the stage, concluding the show with a display of break dancing that leaves the audience gasping. Scratch & Burn is fast and furious, forceful and athletic, delivering a searing critique of war, violence, racial stereotypes, the Bush administration and U.S. imperialism.", explain press notes.
Written and directed by Teo Castellanos, with choreography by the company and Ricardo "Speedy Legs" Fernandez, and performed to live, original music by Brimstone 127, Scratch & Burn transforms the language of popular street dance into a theatrical contemporary dance masterpiece.
Scratch and Burn will be presented at The Auditorium in Roberts Hall, Nazarian Center for the Performing Arts at Rhode Island College, 600 Mt. Pleasant Avenue, Providence, RI.
Tickets are $15 general admission/ $12 students/seniors/military/$10 for Perishable members.
Tickets are available through ArtTix online at www.arttixri.com or by calling (401) 621-6123
