About:
The Classical Theatre of Harlem presents Will Power’s MEMNON, the East-Coast Premiere
An exhilarating new epic resurrects the story of Memnon, the Ethiopian king and demigod who rides to Troy’s defense, through Will Power’s rhythmic verse, pulse-quickening choreography and music. Fresh from a celebrated debut at the Getty Villa, MEMNON re-imagines a lost chapter of the Trojan War.
