Black cloth hangs from the ceiling and the corners of the frame are dark\, Photo by Jonathan Hsu  Blackness\, then red fire\, green smoke\, all manifested from power underground. Repetitive\, crashing sounds portend violence and doom. Agonized souls shake violently as if shocked\, fearful\, sharing futility. A depiction of hell compels those condemned to through the door where judgment awaits. \n \n \n \n June 29 at 7pm \n \n \n \n Ghost Bride features extraordinary scenic\, lighting\, sound\, costuming and projection to depict the overpowering spell and eternal pain of unwanted destiny. The Ghost Bride story reflects the historical enlistment of women\, expected to consent to binding themselves to a spiritual entity\, and often too weak to resist powerful tradition or overcome desperation. The choreographer’s  interpretation of Ghost Bride throws off the shackles of domination by demonstrating the transformation of womanhood toward self-determination.
