JEFF BRITTON/BROADWAY BOUND PRODUCTIONS presents:
TARANTELLA! SPIDER DANCE
by Alessandra Belloni
A new production featuring direction by Jeff Whiting

Tarantella! Spider Dance: is Allessandra Belloni's masterwork, celebrating the phenomenon of the Tarantella-the dance of love and liberation-still thriving in Southern Italy and catching fire across the worldtoday. Spider Dance is the Italian River Dance, a cross-cultural musical journey that takes us from its origins in ancient Greece to its deep roots in Italy. Starting with the birth of Spider Woman, the show follows the story throughout the centuries of this mystical celebration in honor of Dionysus, God of ecstasy and wine. The Pizzica Tarantata, the erotic trance dance ritual, survived every century's challenges - plague, war, Inquisition, poverty. Bitten by love or longing for it, the women known as Tarantate performed this frenzied collective ritual dance to free themselves. But first they had to surrender to the Tarantella's ancient 6/8 rhythm - alive in the tambourines, frame drums and in the love songs and work melodies that contained the healing.

Celebrate Women's History Month with Internationally renowned Singer Percussionist and Cathedral Artist in Residence, Alessandra Belloni and her new Women Ensemble, Daughters of Cybele, Women Drummers for World Peace joined by guest actress Cynthia Enfield and violinist Susan Aquila.
Countries around the world, including Southern Italy, Brazil, Africa and the Middle East have musical traditions based on the power of women. Belloni and Company will emulate one of the most ancient ways of praying and healing, including sacred chanting to the Black Madonna sung by female voices in harmony, accompanied by various percussion instruments (frame drums, tambourines, shakers, djembes, ballaphones, dumbecks, riqqs, mazhars, and marimbas.) Dancers will spin and stomp their feet in celebration of life and peace with the healing trance dance of the Tarantella.
With "Daughters of Cybele," Alessandra Belloni carries on the tradition of Roman priestesses who played the tambourine in worship of Dionysus, God of ecstasy and wine, and the Earth goddess Cybele.
"It was as if the crowd had been transported to a secret clearing somewhere in the Piemonte to witness some wonderfully obscure, mystical ritual."
