Dmitri Peskov Dance Theatre: Of Fleeting Things
In "Of Fleeting Things," dance choreographer Dmitri Peskov explores the brevity of life and the events that affect it. For Peskov, "Life itself consists of fleeting things: Suffering, beauty, prayer, meditation, the follies of human relationships--all pass and all end."
"Of Fleeting Things" is the story of two characters who are opposites: One, played by dancer Paul Christiano, begins with a comedic persona that ends tragically; the other, played by Peskov, starts "in darkness but ends in light." Peskov is also featured in several solo performances including "Falling Man" and "Narcissus," performed silently and without clothing.
The Dmitri Peskov Dance Theatre's makes its debut with the world premiere of "Of Fleeting Things" at Links Hall, 3435 N. Sheffield, Friday and Saturday, June 11 and 12 at 8pm, and Sunday, June 13 at 7pm. Tickets are $15-$18, ($12 for students) and are available at Links Hall or by calling 773-281-0824.
