This spring, Parallel Octave, in collaboration with MOVEIUS Contemporary Ballet (http://www.moveiusdance.org/), will perform a theatrical work by Dara Weinberg entitled The Lorelei, the Albatross and the Pine Tree (or Albatross/Lorelei for short). The work is a collage of poems and texts by Coleridge, Heine and others, set to free-jazz/electronic music and dance. The Baltimore debut performances will occur at the Arellano Theater, Levering Hall, Johns Hopkins Homewood Campus on Sunday May 4 @ 4pm and Tuesday May 6 @ 6pm. Both performances are free to the public. Come and help us celebrate poetry, music and dance!
