Orpheum Family Series to Present Memphis Premiere of AGUA FURIOSA
In Agua Furiosa, Contra-Tiempo challenges audiences to confront harsh realities of race in our country. Inspired by Shakespeare's The Tempest and Oya, the Afro-Cuban deity of wind and storms, artistic director and choreographer Ana Maria Alvarez harnesses her unique Urban-Latin movement approach to create a visually stunning and thought-provoking evening of dance. Agua Furiosa merges call-and-response, a live vocalist, water themes, fierce physicality and the performers' own personal narratives. This event is recommended for all ages.
Ticket prices are $15 for regular admission or $30 for VIP.
