Mareck Dance, in collaboration with the Odyssey Chamber Music Series, proudly presents an original production of Sergei Prokofiev?s Cinderella, performed with two grand pianos on stage, first showcased in 2018. Transforming glass slippers into pointe shoes, this contemporary retelling reinterprets a well-loved fairy tale, giving Cinderella an unexpected twist. Blending timeless themes of love and self-discovery with the joys and challenges of modern life, the story captures the journey of becoming a woman, developing independence, and embracing diversity, sparking both hilarity and compassion. The first act will feature two world premieres by artistic director Karen Mareck Grundy and resident choreographer Kristopher Estes-Brown. Additionally, there will be a guest performance by another professional dance company from our region which will also be part of Cinderella.
