The Feast of Sarah: A Gypsy Festival

BACK ON STAGE by popular demand, this time at the well-known New Brunswick theatre George Street Playhouse, is the The Feast of Sarah: A Gypsy Festival from the repertoire of Alborada Spanish Dance Theatre. From fiery Flamenco to the energetic Csardas, to wailing violins and guitars, this critically acclaimed company, one of New Jersey’s premier dance companies, brings a new version of this visually and musically exciting production. Here, all the sights and sounds of the oldest festival in Saint Maries de la Mer (Camargue, southern France) are re-created, to which the Roma – the Gypsies – make their annual pilgrimage. The entire Alborada company will be joined by The Daughters of Sophia Tribal Dance Company, the Talpra Hungarian Folk Dance Ensemble, and the Gypsy band MetroFolk. Twenty four dancers and ten musicians will grace the stage, bringing the diversity of Gypsy cultures in dance, music and song in the form of an extended Spanish Gypsy and Hungarian Roma family with their Balkan cousins. Come and have your spirits lifted by this Feast of dance and music!
