Ephrat Asherie Dance
June 27-July 1, 2018
LIVE MUSIC
Led by The Boston Globe’s “bona fide b-girl,” Ephrat Asherie Dance performs the world premiere of Odeon, a high-energy, hybrid hip-hop work set to and inspired by the music of early 20th century Brazilian composer Ernesto Nazareth, played live.
2016 New York Dance and Performance (“Bessie”) Award recipient, Ephrat “Bounce” Asherie layers breaking, hip-hop, house, and vogue to the rich sounds of Nazareth’s buoyant score, which melds classical romantic music with popular Afro-Brazilian rhythms.
