For the American energy company Enron\, it was worth billions . . . until it wasn’t.

DESCRIPTION:Department of Theatre & Dance\n \n \n \n \n \n Lacina Coulibaly\n \n \n \n \n \n Until the Lion Tells the Story…\n \n \n \n \n \n \n\nUntil the Lion Tells the Story… invites audiences to embrace the wisdom of Africa as a vital perspective in understanding our shared humanity. Drawing on the golden ratio and Fibonacci sequence\, Coulibaly builds a transformative narrative inspired by ancient Egyptian practices and the writings of African intellectuals like Omotunde Kalala and Cheikh Anta Diop. The work explores themes of history\, memory\, and self-renewal\, reminding us that reconnecting with our past is key to understanding ourselves. \nWith lighting design by Roderick Murray\, costume design by Oumar Ouedraogo\, and set design by Sylvester Akakpo\, this performance promises to be a rich blend of artistry and storytelling. Music inspired by African traditions and sound composition by Kimathi Moore further enhance the experience. \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\nAbout the Artist\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n\nBorn in Burkina Faso\, Lacina Coulibaly has crafted a career blending traditional African dance with contemporary influences\, creating a unique choreographic expression. His extensive experience spans collaborations with global companies\, teaching at esteemed institutions like Yale and Brown\, and performing in award-winning works. Coulibaly’s artistic vision bridges cultural traditions and modern innovations\, inspiring audiences worldwide. \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n “I have always believed that dance is the sovereign expression of African arts. Life is about achievements and failures\, and one should not allow themselves to fail twice in the same way. As I said\, I am expressing in my performance\, in my journey\, the path I choose: self-determination\, trust in myself\, and sovereignty.” \n Lacina Coulibaly\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Details\n \n \n \n \n \n \n March 126:00 PM \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Price\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Free entry \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Venue\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\nLuth Concert HallThe Prior Performing Arts Center \n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Explore More URL:https://priorperformingartscenter.holycross.edu/event/lacina-coulibaly/ LOCATION:DEPARTMENT OF THEATRE & DANCE – Luth Concert Hall –\, 1 College St\, Worcester\, 01610\, United States CATEGORIES:Department of Theatre & Dance ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://priorperformingartscenter.holycross.edu/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/lacina-coulibaly-landscape-web.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20250206 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20250217 DTSTAMP:20260504T082049 CREATED:20240717T132510Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250207T201728Z UID:2163-1738800000-1739750399@priorperformingartscenter.holycross.edu SUMMARY:Sweeney Todd DESCRIPTION:Department of Theatre & Dance\n \n \n \n \n \n Sweeney Todd\n \n \n \n \n \n Music & Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim\nBook by Hugh Wheeler from an adaptation by Christopher Bond\n \n Buy Tickets: Feb 6 - Feb 16\n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n“Attend the tale of Sweeney Todd . . .” \nIn the nearly half-century since Stephen Sondheim’s adaptation of a delectably lurid nineteenth-century melodrama premiered on Broadway\, it has become a modern classic. The title character is perhaps the most frightening and complex anti-hero in musical theatre\, a barber whose fury and despair over the loss of his innocent wife to a pitiless predator turns him into a serial killer with a witty and imaginative partner in crime\, his landlady\, Mrs. Lovett. Containing his most ambitious and challenging music\, Sweeney Todd is a fitting tribute to the great composer-lyricist who died in 2021. \nDirected by Meaghan Deiter\, whose recent productions at the College include Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Oklahoma! and Sondheim’s Company.\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\nEvening Presentations\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n\nTHU FEB 6 @ 7:30 PMFRI FEB 7 @ 7:30 PMSAT FEB 8 @ 7:30 PMTHU FEB 13 @ 7:30 PMFRI FEB 14 @ 7:30 PM **SAT FEB 15 @ 7:30 PM \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n\nMatinee Presentations\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n\nSUN FEB 9 @ 2:00 PMSUN FEB 16 @ 2:00 PM \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n** Enjoy the perfect Valentine’s Day date night at Sweeney Todd with a buy-one-get-one ticket deal!

It is a tale of deceit\, jealousy\, and accusations of infidelity that leads ultimately to the slandering and subjugation of an innocent princess. Imogen emerges triumphant when she confronts and ultimately absolves the men who have betrayed and maligned her. Filled with action and song\, Cymbeline is an epic romantic adventure about the power of love and the centrality of family that concludes with shocking revelations and a joyous reconciliation. \nEd Isser directs. \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\nEVENING PRESENTATIONS\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n\nTHU NOV 7 @ 7:30 PM \nFRI NOV 8 @ 7:30 PM \nSAT NOV 9 @ 7:30 PM \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n\nMATINEE PRESENTATIONS\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n\nSUN NOV 10 @ 2:00 PM \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Details\n \n \n \n \n \n \n October 31 at 7:30 PMNovember 1\, 2\, 7\, 8\, and 9 at 7:30 PMNovember 3 and 10 at 2:00 PM \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Price\n \n \n \n \n \n \n $15 Public | $10 Holy Cross Community \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Venue\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\nBoroughs TheatreThe Prior Performing Arts Center URL:https://priorperformingartscenter.holycross.edu/event/cymbeline/ LOCATION:DEPARTMENT OF THEATRE & DANCE – Boroughs Theatre –\, 1 College St\, Worcester\, MA\, 01610\, United States CATEGORIES:Department of Theatre & Dance ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://priorperformingartscenter.holycross.edu/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/cymbeline-landscape.jpg END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
