Mystery at Sky Square

Choreographer Alia Kache creates a cinematic experience brought to the stage in her work Mystery at Sky Square. Based on the mischievous Akan folkloric character, Anansi the Spider, Mystery at Sky Square begins where love and revenge take center stage in this film noir-style dance theater work. Complete with 1940s-inspired costumes, narration to an original screenplay by Ryan Blackwell, foreboding atmosphere and music by Omari Tau, Kache blends all the right fixings of a classic who-done-it for the stage.
