Performing the Boston premiere of Chapters from a Broken Novel

“Varone’s ability to convey depths of emotion through highly charged, physically exciting choreography has made him a rarity among his generation.”—New York Times

Since its founding in 1986, the internationally celebrated Doug Varone and Dancers has commanded attention for its expansive vision, versatility and technical prowess. Varone’s kinetically thrilling dances make essential connections and mine the complexity of the human spirit. From the smallest gesture to full-throttle bursts of movement, his work can literally take your breath away. The company, which has been honored with 11 Bessie Awards, will perform the Boston premiere of Chapters from a Broken Novel, a work created for eight dancers and set to music by composer David Van Tieghem.

Free preperformance talk 45 minutes prior to performance with dance critic Debra Cash.
Free postperformance Q&A with the company Friday, February 18.

      One of the best and most original dance companies brings one of the best shows Varone has yet conceived to Boston. The score is David Van Tieghem is electrifying and a perfect match for the company's brand of kinetic and conceptually brilliant dance. If you don't know the company, check it out. There are no bad seats and this show is amazing. Varone is a genius and these dancers are uniquely talented. Collapse
