The cast of 12 dancers, clad in black and white school uniforms, are challenged by an enigmatic, irreverent figure intent on wreaking havoc with the status quo. Promethean Fire examines a kaleidoscope of human emotions. Breathtaking waves of dancers in black velvet perform to Leopold Stokowski’s striking orchestrations of pieces by Bach.
