Celebrated at NYC’s Battery Dance Festival, The Futorian Dance Theater’s ‘Suite of 3’ is a stream of portraits in acrobatic grace disclosing the lovers’ manifesto. It’s intuitively creative, with deep reverence to style orthodoxy. Most of all it’s a joy to watch!
Choreographer Melanie Futorian’s intimate bond with sound, a legacy of her partner, percussionist Don Alias, is reflected in detailed movements, full of surprises, illuminated by music.
In a time when it’s all too tempting to convulse and clash, ‘Suite of 3’ doesn’t sacrifice beauty in the pursuit of contemporary relevance. The dance marries modern and ethnic, infused with floral Bali and heroic Greek amphora figurines.
Dancers Evita Re and Elias Re are resplendent in the world premiere of ‘Suite of 3’.
