WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
This radically original dance-theater event explores 100 years in the life of North Beach nightspot Tosca Café, conjuring a world in which love, betrayal, and hope emerge from the shadows and disappear with the clink of a glass. The Tosca Project brings world-renowned dancers from San Francisco Ballet, including prima ballerina Sabina Allemann and Pascal Molat, together with such acclaimed actors as The Overcoat's Peter Anderson and A.C.T.'s Jack Willis (Rock 'n' Roll). This imaginative new work is gorgeously choreographed, achingly moving, and scored with some of the best music ever made, from Hendrix to Stravinsky.
