WORCESTER, Mass. – The Holy Cross theatre department will present Mimpi, an original dance drama, from Thursday, Nov. 4 – Saturday, Nov. 6 and from Thursday, Nov. 11 – Saturday, Nov. 13, at 8 p.m. in Fenwick Theatre. Tickets are $10 for the general public and $7 for members of the Holy Cross community. They may be obtained by calling the box office at (508) 793-2496. Fenwick Theatre is handicapped accessible.
This original musical dance drama, a collaboration between writer-director Lynn Kremer, and composer Desak Made Suarti Laksmi, both of the theatre department, weaves together Indonesian fairy tales and poetry. A versatile cast portrays a range of human and animal characters in twin fables — about a covetous husband and a self-sacrificing wife, and an ogress who sets her evil eye on a pair of happy children. Gita Sari, the Holy Cross Gamelan ensemble, is joined by professional musicians playing western instruments to underscore the performance.
