FJK Dance will preview the new multimedia performance and art installation UnTold which “…layers ancient Middle Eastern aesthetics with contemporary ballet and ballroom movements, while incorporating sculpture and graphic design. The work aims to shed light on the hidden beauty of Middle Eastern culture, at a time when stereotypes govern our perceptions. Inspired by Arabic poetry, Al Mu’alaqat (المعلقات) (a set of seven poems) is transformed into projections and theater sets. The designed Arabic written words dance and interconnect with the performers on stage,” according to the release. This is free event. Find out more here https://www.hrm.org/summer_amphitheatre.html
