SUMMARY:The 4th Witch
DESCRIPTION:The 4th Witch is a fantastic new tale\, inspired by elements of Shakespeare’s Macbeth\, in which a girl escapes war and seeks protection from three witches. They agree to take her on as an apprentice with only one condition: she must never use her powers for revenge. Consumed by grief and rage\, the girl comes to realize that it was Macbeth who killed her parents. Now she must choose between reconciliation or vengeance. \nTold through inventive practical effects executed in plain sight\, the troupe brilliantly employs shadow puppetry\, live music and actors in silhouette\, to create an entire new world in The 4th Witch. Manual Cinema has built a devoted fanbase in Boston over the course of their thrilling past productions at ArtsEmerson including Ada/Ava and Frankenstein. Do not miss their triumphant return this fall!

SUMMARY:Boston Ballet presents Fall Experience
DESCRIPTION:Fall Experience features two striking contemporary works: Akram Khan’s Vertical Road (Reimagined) 2023\, and Alexander Ekman’s Cacti. Vertical Road (Reimagined) 2023 explores humanity’s earthly nature\, rituals\, and the consequences of our actions. This mesmerizing work becomes a meditation on the journey from gravity to grace. Alexander Ekman’s Cacti is a playful and rhythmically charged contemporary work created in 2010. Known for its wit\, physicality\, and clever commentary on the culture of dance and artistic interpretation\, Cacti was nominated for “Best New Modern Choreography” by the UK Dance Critics Foundation. Cacti is set to a complex score performed by the Boston Ballet Orchestra\, and a quartet\, playing on-stage. Whether you’re new to contemporary dance or simply curious\, this program promises an engaging live performance that is best experienced together in the theater. \nFor more information\, visit bostonballet.org or call 617.695.6955.
