About This Show

In the heart of the Louisiana bayou lies a land filled with mysticism, music, and the heat of passion. Soul Possessed uses vibrant dance and song to tell the story of beautiful young Ysabel, who leaves her betrothed for a mysterious drifter and subsequently invites tragedy to possess her very soul. This regional premiere presents a hot mix of dance styles, from flamenco to jazz, as it weaves a tale steeped in the cultural traditions of the bayou. Debbie Allen writes, choreographs, and directs this dance drama featuring music by pop legend James Ingram, Latin jazz artist Arturo Sandoval, and Allen.

Contains adult content and language. There are additional Saturday matinee performances on September 9 & 16 at 2:30pm.
