Good Morning Mr Gershwin - NZ Intern. Arts Festival

Visionary dance choreographers José Montalvo and Dominique Hervieu pay the ultimate tribute to American composer George Gershwin in this exhilarating performance.

Compagnie Montalvo-Hervieu continues to forge new ground, this time fusing hip-hop, tap-dance, ballet, and contemporary dance against a backdrop of immense and emotive video imagery. The show commences as dancers bring to life the irresistible glamour of the 20s and 30s, taking an exuberant frolic through some of Gershwin’s most well-known Broadway classics, including hits from Porgy and Bess.

During his brief but extraordinary life, George Gershwin crafted some of America’s most defining and memorable music. Drawing on influences from jazz, blues, Russian-Jewish folk harmonies and classical, his music defied tradition and challenged the social conventions of the time. This high-energy performance creates an entertaining dream world that Gershwin himself would have been proud of – one free of boundaries and limitations.

“…A life-enhancing, high octane production that barely pauses for breath” The Financial Times (UK)
