Parsons Dance and East Village Opera Company: Remember Me
Thu, April 7, 2011
Dinner/Exploration: 6pm
Performance: 8pm

Choreographed and directed for the stage by David Parsons, Remember Me is a high-energy mix of contemporary American dance, opera, and rock music. It combines the athleticism of Parsons Dance with the exhilarating live vocal performances of the East Village Opera Company (EVOC). David Parsons, and EVOC vocalist’s Tyley Ross and AnnMarie Milazzo created a storyline that connects EVOC's signature operatic “rock” arias with David Parsons' original choreography. Remember Me is a thoroughly modern re-telling of a classic story of tragic love. With contemporary dance, live and recorded music, video projections, complex digital lighting and visual effects, Remember Me is the most ambitious production created by Parsons Dance in its 22-year history.
