Wortham Presents Koresh Dance Company presents Masquerade 

Friday & Saturday, March 21 & 22, 2025 at 8 p.m.

Immerse yourself in the space where reality and fiction intertwine in “Masquerade,” an intra-active, contemporary, operatic dance performance set to electronic symphonic music, sung live by soprano Sage DeAgro-Ruopp. A fan-favorite of seasons past, this internationally acclaimed, Philadelphia-based troupe artfully finds the line between beauty and innovation — then boldly dances on it — and this truly unique theatrical work is no exception, creating a world where truth belongs to the imagination of the beholder.

Connect with the art and artists in a dance master class and pre-show discussions.
