"Scratch and Burn" - TWO PERFORMANCES!
Thursday-Friday, February 7-8, 2008 at 8 pm - $24 adults, $20 students
"Its intentions are epic and its execution exhilarating yet disarmingly naive. The result is a sweet success." —Miami New Times
Teo Castellanos combines elements of ancient Zulu,
Maori, and butoh rituals with movements from hip-hop
and urban street combat to create a gripping and
powerful dance-theater work about our primal urge to battle for supremacy and domination. Choreographed
by break-dance legend Ricardo “Speedy Legs” Fernandez, and performed to live, original music by Brimstone 127,
Scratch and Burn transforms the language of popular street dance into a theatrical whole.
