THURSDAY: Amazing Stage Show Presents IMMORTALITY!

by | Oct 11, 2011 | ART

The fifth annual Carnival Of 5 Fires event at Gallery 5 continues this week with Immortality, a presentation of local performance art troupe The Amazing Stage Show. Immortality tells the tale of four immortal beings, portrayed by Deanna Danger, The Great Zwerdling, Mister S, and the Muse, as they traverse the waters between life and death. Audience members will be taken on a journey, visiting gods and goddesses in lands of shadows, creation, and destruction, all brought to life through the beauty of dance and the magic of music. Joining the four main performers on this supernatural journey are belly dance icon Madame Onça, and circus artist Karma Jane. Combining various forms of dance, including burlesque, modern dance, and belly dance, together with fire, aerial arts, and storytelling, this full-length stage show, which will be presented along with a complete original score, will portray the meaning and mission of the Amazing Stage Show: to bring minds in line with hearts, and to sway hearts towards love.
