For tickets visit www.FringeNYC.org New York, NY - The Ume Group is proud to present their newest world premier project, ISIS VARIATIONS as part of the 18th annual New York International Fringe Festival - FringeNYC. The company hailed by The Village Voice for "commanding, physically impressive performances" is returning to FringeNYC after a three year hiatus. Noted for their “beautiful and disturbing” (nytheatre.com) martial-arts / butoh dance epic, BUTOH ELECTRA, which marked their FringeNYC debut in 2011, The Ume Group is now set to begin a brand new butoh-driven physical theatre odyssey called ISIS VARIATIONS. Drawing on their shared practice of yoga, dance, gymnastics, butoh, and martial arts, an ensemble of four dancer/choreographers will invoke the spirit of the Egyptian goddess Isis to discover the mythic "home" in each of us. The show is created and performed by Dave Herigstad, Marie Putko, Jordan Rosin, and Yokko with lighting design by Derek Van Heel. WITH: Dave Herigstad, Marie Putko, Jordan Rosin, and Yokko The Ume Group The Ume Group is a NY-based physical theatre ensemble, dedicated to cultivating excellent teachers, lifelong learners, and fearless creators. They are in-residence at Grace & St. Paul's Church on Manhattan's fashionable Upper West Side where they hold weekly classes, workshops, and rehearsals of their upcoming works. They have also performed at theaters & festivals around New York City and the United States including The Irondale Center, CoolNY Dance Festival, The New York International Fringe Festival, the Hollywood Fringe Festival, and more!
