BALLET DEVIARE Present New Heavy Metal Ballet: Memento Mori
May 1, 2008, 16 years ago
BALLET DEVIARE has experienced a myriad of catastrophes and tragedies within the past two years. Two years of dealing with institutions concerned with death or recovery-hospitals, rehab facilities, nursing homes, hospices, etc. The result of all this pain is reflected in the newest Ballet Deviare production, Memento Mori.
Performances of Memento Mori are scheduled for May 23, 24, and 25, 2008, at the Baruch Performing Arts Center in New York City, including three world premiers by NEGURA BUNGET, FUNERAL, and a new song from NYC's black, death and folk metal band, GWYNBLEIDD. Gwynbleidd will be performing live for the production and includes a track from their forthcoming release. We will also be performing to CELESTIIAL, japanische kampfhoerspiele (JaKa) and ARSIS, as seen on MTV2's Headbanger's Ball. Seating is limited and tickets will go fast.
Memento Mori is Latin for "remember your death." Ballet Deviare chose this phrase for its next performance to both confront our common element of death and to celebrate the fact we still cast shadows on the earth.
To purchase tickets, visit www.balletdeviare.org. Seats are $50 each, but a discount price of $25 is available for those going through the rough or doldrums. If necessary, when purchasing just enter discount code MM2008.
