Enter THE PORTAL as we follow Dante through majestic deserts and alpine mountains as he seeks the beautiful and mysterious Beatrice -- while also being pursued by his own inner-demons. Is his quest real? A dream? Or an allegory of our own desire for transformation?
Driven by epic rock, pulsing with tribal and electronic beats, THE PORTAL is part concert, part movie, and part performance. Inspired by Burning Man, Pink Floyd, EDM, and world mythology, THE PORTAL not only entertains but also immerses the audience in a journey of transcendence and empowerment. The Huffington Post says, “THE PORTAL is reshaping the art of performance theater.”
The performers include lead vocalist/frontman Billy Lewis Jr. (Fox’s “Glee,” The Who’s Tommy, Spring Awakening, Hedwig & the Angry Inch), dancers Marija Juliette Abney (Broadway’s After Midnight, Anna Nicole with New York City Opera), Jessica Aronoff (company member of J CHEN PROJECT & Eryc Taylor Dance) and Nicole Spencer (Dirty Dancing national tour, “Saturday Night Live”), on-screen actors Christopher Soren Kelly (Ink) and Zarah Mahler (Broadway’s Soul Doctor, Emily Raydor on TNT’s “Major Crimes”), and Joey Calveri (Broadway’s Rock of Ages & Wonderland). Live music is performed by guitarist Paul Casanova and percussionist Gilly Gonzalez.
PERFORMANCE SCHEDULE:
WEDNESDAY thru SATURDAY @ 8 PM
SATURDAY @ 5 PM
