Santa Barbara, CA — Selah Dance Collective is proud to announce the world premiere of Palermo!, an evocative new contemporary dance work choreographed by Meredith Ventura. The piece will debut at Center Stage Theater in Santa Barbara on January 17 at 7:30pm and Saturday, January 18, 2025 at 2pm and 7:30pm.Palermo! (Sure Shot Comedy! Bang Up Fun!) continues Ventura’s choreographic exploration of early 20th-century performance, building on her acclaimed research project Sound and Smoke, which examines the aesthetics and social undercurrents of 1920s German cabaret. This newest work takes inspiration from the Futurist cabarets of Italy in the 1920s and 1930s, offering a profound investigation into the performance of power and the complex relationship between art, politics, and identity during the interwar period.
With bold, athletic movement and an immersive soundscape, Palermo! invites audiences into a sensory world where historical echoes collide with contemporary questions of power, agency, and resistance. The work highlights Ventura’s multidisciplinary approach, blending choreography with elements of visual and sonic design to create a layered, dynamic experience.
