Go! Contemporary Dance Works: Cleopatra, the Last Pharoah
“Deviating from Hollywood’s traditional portrayal of Cleopatra, GO! will explore the mysteries of this young woman and her political battles for dominance over the Ptolemaic Throne… Intertwining Egyptian rituals, mysticism and traditions, Cleopatra is a powerful spectacle with a documentary style storyline based on the rivalry between Cleopatra VII, her half-sister Arsinoe IV and her younger brother, Ptolemy XIII.”
Three performances at the Bijou Theatre, 803 S. Gay Street
Saturday, February 25, at 2:oo PM and 7:30 PM
