Evolution Dance Theatre Announces World Premiere of FOLLOW YOUR HEART

Evolution Dance Theatre (EDT) proudly announces the world premiere of Follow Your Heart, a multi-media extravaganza with over 45 artists on stage that will take audiences on a wondrous journey into the human spirit, transporting them to a magical and mysterious world.

This captivating dance-drama hits the stage September 22-25 at the Richmond Hill Centre for the Performing Arts. Tickets are on sale now by visiting EvolutionDanceTheatre.com or calling the box office at 905-787-8811.

A tale of love and struggle, with a special emphasis on the empowerment of women, Follow Your Heart is rooted in the rich traditions of Middle Eastern dance and culture. This multidisciplinary spectacle tells an inspiring and courageous story of a modern Middle Eastern woman, Almaza, in love with Jivan, a traditional Middle Eastern man, in modern-day Toronto. It is a journey of a woman who fights for love against all odds; a love story of taboo and tradition.

With a talented international cast, a dramatic love story, spectacular costumes, haunting music (both live and recorded), digital media and stunning dance – ranging from traditional belly dance to jazz to hip hop and more – Follow Your Heart seamlessly combines Western contemporary dance forms and traditional Middle Eastern dance styles with theatre and live original music for a truly unique, cross-cultural event as it draws audiences into a world of beauty, mystery and passion. A Middle Eastern story with a universal appeal, Follow Your Heart inspires and educates as it entertains.
