Diaghilesque

Diaghilesque
Diaghilesque is a marriage of Ballet Classics and Classic Burlesque-but don’t tell Classic Religion! The lavish and profound gems of Diaghilev’s Ballet Russe are given a Post Modern/Burlesque treatment by KineticArchitecture. "dance, gravity-defying gymnastics, yoga and S & M" -TimeOut NY Artistic Director Faux Pas aka Rob Davidson is a Dancer, Choreographer, and Drag/Burlesque-Queer-Gender Non Conformist who explores cultural perceptions of what and who is ill-made and hideous. This show is an homage, a send up, and a call to culture done with care and flare! Diaghilesque features original choreography by Seán Curran Company alum Faux Pas, “his perky tutu and nipple rings did the trick,” – The NY Times, and the dance artistry of company members Sara Mulry, Allison Kimmel, and Zachary Denison with the Sparkling Trinas: Ayesha Adamo, Kimberly Giannelli and Hyung Ji Yu.
