Breathtaking, rapid-fire, original. Set to the music of Brazilian composer Ernesto Nazareth, known for mixing early 20th-century romantic music with samba and other popular Afro-Brazilian rhythms, "Odeon" takes a hybrid approach to movement.

In the Grammy-nominated “The Secret Between the Shadow and the Soul,” the quartet performs its most emotionally wide-ranging and melody-driven collection of music to date.

Breathtaking, rapid-fire, original. Set to the music of Brazilian composer Ernesto Nazareth, known for mixing early 20th-century romantic music with samba and other popular Afro-Brazilian rhythms, "Odeon" takes a hybrid approach to movement. This work from sister-and-brother team Ephrat and Ehud Asherie delves into what happens when you bring together street and club dances—breaking, hip-hop, house and vogue—and unpack, remix and challenge them to inhabit new spatial and choreographic contexts.

The Book of Will
Jul 2-Aug 6, 2022
The Book of Will
"Not of an age, but for all time." So reads the posthumous tribute to Shakespeare in the First Folio, the first-ever published compilation of the playwright's work. An evocative love letter to one of theatre's greats, "The Book of Will" tells the heartfelt and hilarious true story of the artists and friends who undertook the herculean effort to publish the Bard's plays in the wake of his death.
Since 1958, the Colorado Shakespeare Festival has delighted audiences with professional theatre on the CU Boulder campus. Complete your Colorado summer with Shakespeare under the stars in the historic Mary Rippon Outdoor Theatre—complimentary seatbacks included.
