RUBBERBAND Runs Feb. 3-4

MDT_Rubberband promoRUBBERBAND
Mutual Dance Theatre
Feb. 3-4
Aronoff Center Jarson-Kaplan Theater [Downtown]

Mutual Dance Theatre is proud to present the Cincinnati premiere of RUBBERBAND, coming to us from Montreal, Canada.

Born and raised in Los Angeles, the child of Mexican parents, artistic director Victor Quijada founded RUBBERBAND in 2002. The troupe is known in Canada and abroad as an explosive, one-of-a-kind ensemble, combining the energy of Hip Hop, the refinement of classical Ballet, and the angular quality of Contemporary Dance.

RUBBERBAND’s mixed repertory performance in Cincinnati will feature a collection dubbed “Vic’s Mix,” a “best-of” selection spanning Quijada’s immense creative territory. In an orchestrated clash of urban pop and classical composition, Quijada defies notions of theatricality and audience expectations. All the while, the physically engaging, highly athletic dance works exemplify Quijada’s signature RUBBERBAND method.

KTC_Dickless logoDICKLESS
Know Theatre of Cincinnati
Jan. 27-Feb. 12
[Over-the-Rhine]

Directed by Brant Russell

Cast: Tess Talbot as Saff/Oli, Jared Earland as Smith Henry & Syndi Solomon as Titch

An internet rumor. An incriminating photo. A heart-pounding, adrenaline-fueled pursuit of revenge in an electrifying dive into the seedy underbelly of a small English town.

Saff’s best friend is being slandered online by her ex. Meanwhile, Oli’s being blackmailed by a mysterious stalker who somehow knows his most-guarded secret. And Smith Henry is broke, scrambling to pay off a debt that’s come due.

They’re all about to learn that vengeance is wilder, bloodier, and far more unpredictable than they bargained for.

Rated R: intense language, sex, violence, adult themes. 90-minute run time.
