Voted Rhode Island’s best dance company, LOSTWAX Multimedia Dance Theater and Jamie Jewett weave a new fantasy in SEVEN VEILS, a multimedia dance based on Thalia Field’s adaptation of “Salome”. Video by Luke DuBois and music by Alexander deVaron provide an often humorous score for Jewett’s quirky contemporary dance. It’s all there: the dungeon, the palace, the dance, the seductions and betrayals – interweaving voices, dancer, and projections – the re-imagined “veils” of Salome’s story.
