MUSE/IQUE - In/Side Story
- Public Event
This is Part Three of MUSE/IQUE's Planet Bernstein: A Party in Three Parts celebrating the creative gravity of Leonard Bernstein. The series begins on July 11 with Cosmic/Collaboration and August 8 with Jazz/Genesis.
West Side Story is a masterpiece of overwhelming emotional power and the only possible finale for this festival.
Go inside the mystery of our most profound American fable as MUSE/IQUE imagines the story in the streets of today.
This stunning, counter-conventional presentation is filled with fresh takes on beloved songs like "America", "Krupke", and "Cool".
And it is ignited by towering performances and "Somewhere" and "Maria" by the beautiful operatic voices of Naomi O'Connell and Brenton Ryan.
The performance is punctuated by poetry from Sekou Andrews and Steve Connell and dance grooves from local legends Frit and Frat Fuller of KIN Dance Company.
Channeling our inner Bernstein, we blend elements of opera, hip-hop, jazz, classical and modern dance into one extraordinary experience of this timeless tale.
