Dance

Spectrum Dance Theater Ever since the debut of Carl Orff’s Carmina burana in the 1930s, choreographers have been seduced by its rhythms and its bawdy medieval text. Usually the results come out like the best trip to the Renaissance fair, but Donald Byrd likes to switch things around; his version is more revival meeting than May Day festival. Using a piano reduction of the score, Byrd focuses on a singular Everyman who sins and seeks redemption in Spectrum Dance Theater’s different approach to a well-know work. (Through Sun.)
