FAIRFIELD, Conn. (September 22, 2017) 鈥斕烀来绞悠滴尴拗乒劭粹檚 Regina A. Quick Center for the Arts launches its 27th season in an unprecedented style, heralding a bold, new lineup of performances. Be there for the ultimate immersive arts experience in Fairfield County this year. On two nights only, October 13 and 14, the Quick will be turned for an experiential party wrapped around two outstanding performances from acclaimed, international performers.
From the moment you arrive, see the Quick from a totally new perspective as the entire theater is transformed. Find your way to the Wien Experimental Theatre for a dance performance of Fr茅d茅rick Gravel鈥檚 Tout Se P猫te La Gueule, Ch茅 rie - All Hell is Breaking Loose, Honey. Merging rock music, performance art, and dance, Gravel鈥檚 work is emotionally gripping and hard hitting.
Active in the Montreal scene for over 10 years, Gravel is known for pushing the boundaries of dance choreography and turning it on its head. 鈥淕ravel鈥檚 work dances the fine line between rock concert, trailer park party, and dance performance. He certainly likes to push the boundaries of what dance can be 鈥 taking pleasure in obliterating stereotypes.鈥 The Ottawa Citizen.
Between performances, steal behind the scenes to the Quick鈥檚 Set Shop and 鈥渋nside鈥 party space for sumptuous treats and libations. Your debut on the Quick stage follows as you dance the night away to bewitchingly soulful vocals performed by Betty Bonafassi. Currently one of Canada鈥檚 great voices, Bonifassi exudes a powerful personal magnetism. Her latest project is an ambitious album paying tribute to African-American and Black prisoners鈥 songs from the 1920s, collected by ethno-musicologist Alan Lomax in the Southern United States. The power of her voice highlights these chants as accentuated by her band鈥檚 musical approach, which brings a raw, gritty, and truthful sound to the stage.
