"Dance Nation" by Clare Barron at Chelsea Theatre Works

Apollinaire Theatre Company presents Clare Barron’s “Dance Nation.”

“I HAVE SEEN THE FUTURE, AND IT IS DANCE NATION.” – THE WASHINGTON POST

Somewhere in America, an army of pre-teen competitive dancers plots to take over the world. And if their new routine is good enough, they’ll claw their way to the top at Nationals in Tampa Bay. A play about ambition, growing up, and yearning to embrace our bodies and our souls.

Clare Barron’s “glorious new work…conjures the passionate ambivalence of early adolescence with such being-there sharpness and poignancy that you’re not sure whether to cringe, cry or roar with happiness.” (New York Times)
