(Honolulu) — IONA Contemporary Dance Theatre (IONA), Hawai’i’s premier dance ensemble, today announced that tickets are on sale for the staging of DOMINION, its epic evening-length work about animals, humans and the spirit that binds us. Two performances will take place at the Hawaii Theatre Center, Friday May 11 and Saturday, May 12, 2018 at 8:00 p.m.
DOMINION is a beautiful and poignant example of how the arts bring awareness to social causes. The work echoes a growing concern we have in today’s world over the mistreatment and extinction of animals. The show goes a step further to examine humankind’s dominion over the food industry in the use of genetic engineering and the sourcing of new “miracle foods” that promote life. DOMINION demonstrates, through the bodies of the dancers, the spirit of life we share with the animals who roam our planet and our living rooms, while taking a humorous and sometimes shocking look at the foods we eat.
“The visual impact; the imagination bending symbols; the whimsy and the bone marrow darkness; and the performers– were all extraordinary.”
“Thoughtful, sad, deliriously happy, amazing, divine music, a truly purposeful presentation.”
Shows:
Friday, May 11 at 8 p.m.
Saturday, May 12 at 8 p.m.
Tickets, range from $30 – $75, can be purchased at:
DOMINION title sponsor: Elizabeth Wong. Additional support in the creation and performances of DOMINION are supported by the State Foundation on Culture and the Arts through appropriations from the Legislature of the State of Hawaii and by the National Endowment for the Arts, and the S. J. Ungar / J. Shapiro Family Foundation.
