Alumnus Zachary Moore returns to Milton’s King Theatre to light up the stage for an original dance theater piece, Dancing Behind My Eyelids. Moore, who demonstrated his backstage production talent early as a student at Milton, now comes full-circle as lighting designer for this traveling performance.
Inspired by Shakespeare’s The Tempest, Dancing Behind My Eyelids contains
influences from Icelandic electronica, acid rock, re-imagined Latin choral
chants, as well as recording artists Mum, Radiohead, Rufus Wainwright, Alexander Balanescu and Karin Tatoyan. Directed by Samantha Shay and choreographed by
Chelsea Didier, the performance incorporates ballet, modern dance, monkey Kung Fu, Capoeira, acrobatics, French mime and contact improv.
King Theatre’s curtains open at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, January 8.
