Abstract
- ''The Movement: A Theatrical Experience'' aims ''to inspire audiences to cultivate their dreams, embrace change and share their hopes with the world,'' the director and choreographer Angel Feliciano says in his program notes. Opening at the Joyce SoHo on Thursday night, the show involves a mixture of musical theater, hip-hop and spoken word and brushes upon ideas about gentrification and hustling to survive. One line in particular, spoken by a cast member, sets up this overly ambitious show: ''Before you dream, you must live.'' The living begins with a film that operates like a trailer for the actual work. As the camera pans over abandoned lots and graffiti-covered buildings, a tourist finds a silver mask while standing in front of the marquee of ''Phantom of the Opera.'' [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
