A poet’s Love – combining song, aereal dance and theater

Compiled by the El Reportero’s staff

Zaccho Dance Theatre (ZDT) will premiere A Poet’s Love, a new work created by Zaccho’s Artistic Director Joanna Haigood and Brooklyn-based singer/actor José Joaquín García.
A Poet’s Love is a new creation based on the Dichterliebe song cycle from classical German composer Robert Schumann. A Poet’s Love takes the form of sixteen discrete vignettes, each one responsive to and deeply immersed in the musical and poetic context of a song in Dichterliebe.
The complete work – combining song, aerial dance and theatre – will be performed at Zaccho Studio in San Francisco and will feature members of ZDT’s performance ensemble as well as José Joaquín García, who will perform the songs accompanied by well-known Bay Area pianist Frederick Harris.
On Friday Oct. 2, 2015. Additional performances will occur Saturday, Oct. 3 at 8 p.m. and Sunday Oct. 4 at 7 p.m.
Tickets are $20 at the door, but seating is limited. To guarantee and pre-order tickets please visit http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/2182219. Feel free to call us at 415.822.6744 or send an email to christopher@zaccho.org for more information.
