“A riotous ride-nonstop and cutting edge.”
--Jeremy Alliger

"Club Riot" is a theatrical, cutting edge, high-energy dance theatre event. The structure of the piece is inspired by “Happenings,” “Raves” and “Sensory Theatre.” In Club Riot, 9 dancers portraying whimsical to wacky characters including a palm reader, a DJ who roasts nuts, a face painter and a masseuse who journey from obedience through rebellion into ecstasy. Through a hyper stimulation of the audience’s sensory faculties, Club Riot, utilizing a mélange of sights, sounds, smells and tastes aims to entice, flirt, tease, challenge and stimulate. Internationally renowned choreographer, Heidi Latsky and her company, Heidi Latsky Dance, combine aesthetic technique and the joy of movement to create an intoxicating and exhilarating theatrical experience for the viewer. An experience that by the end, dares them to join the Dance and Riot in the Club at La MaMa e.t.c.
