If you’re up for something totally different, check out PARSONS DANCE at Tilles this Saturday in their red-hot collaboration with the lead vocalists of the EAST VILLAGE OPERA COMPANY (EVOC). Titled “Remember Me,” this exciting new work was one of the biggest hits of the New York dance season last year, where I saw it at the Joyce Theater. It proved so popular that the Joyce will bring it back this winter. Thanks to Tilles Center—and our series sponsor the Pall Corporation—Long Islanders won’t be forced to wait until February (or fight the traffic into Manhattan). Since last year’s debut, the work has continued to evolve through additional performances and a taping for PBS. “Remember Me” can only be described as a rock/opera/ballet, fabulously rich in color, spectacle, and raw emotion. Some of the best loved operatic arias—from “Nessun Dorma” to the Habanera from “Carmen”—are brought into a contemporary rock idiom, sung live on stage, and woven into an intense melodrama rivaling anything Verdi and his collaborators ever put on the stage! The dancing is full-throttle. “Remember Me” will leave you breathless. Check it out, and let us know what you think of this new work by one of our favorite choreographers.
