FAMILY PERFORMANCE
People Like Me 2006: Meta-Myth-a-Morphosis
The 12th season of the annual
People Like Me family show created by World Arts West,
the producer of the San Francisco Ethnic Dance Festival

Friday, March 17, 2006

In the theatrical dance performance "Meta-Myth-a-Morphosis", you'll meet a bookworm living in the library of legend and lore. Ravenously learning about the myths and legends of the world, he is transformed as he gains new understanding of all the flavors of oral tradition, music and dance.

Join the hilarious BOXTALES Theatre Company as they encounter some of the best ethnic dance ensembles in the Bay Area including the renowned Diamano Coura West African Dance Company, Cascada de Flores with lively Mexican dances, the spectacular Four Winds Native American Dance, the Chinese long-sleeve dance performers of Peony Performing Arts and Ballet Afsaneh with entrancing dances from Afghanistan. You won't want to miss this exciting journey around the globe!
