From Gregory Hancock Dance Theatre, Exodus makes a triumphant return to the stage at The Tarkington at the Allied Solutions Center for the Performing Arts, 3 Carter Green, Carmel.
The concerts take place at 7 p.m. Friday, March 27 and 5 p.m. Saturday, March 28. Get your tickets by calling the Center’s office at (317) 843-3800 or at TheCenterPresents.org.
A monumental production with an extended cast, and a story of intense relevance to current affairs, Exodus weaves in modern-day plagues and explores themes of social justice, economic and ecological issues, perseverance, power, corruption, and hope. This truly epic concert is a must-see and takes the story you think you may know and flips it upside down.
Audience members are immediately confronted with the stark image of women and children encaged and enslaved, and one dominating authority figure wreaking havoc on their population. A lone mother, desperate for a better life for her child, slips her infant through the gates and sets her afloat down the river. This begins the story of The Chosen One, a secretly adopted child who grows up in privilege and discovers the injustices of a society that provides such privilege to some while others suffer.
This ancient story is retold as only Gregory Hancock can, with powerful music and athletic dancing, steeped in tradition but time-warped into modern society where The Plagues are ripped from today’s headlines, and the narrative touches a 21st-century global community. With an expanded cast to compliment the professional company dancers, Exodus is a powerful tale of love, sacrifice, incredible strength.
