Stephen Petronio Company: Underland

Sat Nov 5
8 pm
Stephen Petronio Company: Underland at Pitman Theater
The Stephen Petronio Company isn’t exactly a Swan Lake or Nutcracker kind of dance outfit. Instead, it draws from decidedly modern material like Lou Reed, Rufus Wainwright, and Fischerspooner. For its Underland performance, the group will use the music of none other than Nick Cave as its guide. (Yes, the man who once fronted The Birthday Party is now being used as inspiration for modern interpretive dance.) Expect plenty of hot, classically trained dancers; brooding music; and a psycho-sexual mindfuck that makes Natalie Portman’s misadventures in Black Swan look like a pirouette in the park.
