RIOULT Dance NY

RIOULT Dance NY, known for its sensual, articulate, and exquisitely musical work, will present "WOMEN ON THE EDGE...Unsung Heroines of the Trojan War," a trilogy of dances inspired by Euripides' tragic heroines Iphigenia, Helen of Troy, and Cassandra. Artistic director and choreographer Pascal Rioult's interpretations of these timeless myths highlight not only the grace, strength, and resilience of women in society but also the futility and immorality of war. The program includes Rioult's "Iphigenia," "On Distant Shores," and the ADF commissioned "Cassandra's Curse," each set to commissioned music by contemporary American composers Michael Torke, Aaron Kernis, and Richard Danielpour, respectively.
