Myths gorw stronger - and more meaningful - as cultures overlap, cross borders, dance together. Each of these pieces evokes the ancient power of storytelling through new, surprising juxtapositions. Indigenous Mexican tales are set in motion anew as Luna Negra Dance Theatre debuts a work to Paredes' score.. The spellbinding power of myths - the layers, the loss, the loves - provides the common bond for four rappers' reinvention of urban myths transformed in Woolf's multi-media world premiere.
