On Tour



VISIONS OF THE NEAR EAST provides a dynamic travelogue of dance through the Arab world. Faithful to ethnic dance traditions, these inspired original works transcend cultural boundaries.
MEDITERRANEAN MOSAIC savors the rich folkloric traditions from North Africa, the Middle East, with a dash of spice from Italy, Greece, and Spain.
ALHAYAT RAKSA (LIFE IS A DANCE) centers around an Arab woman who, at the end of her life, resolves her conflicting emotions and resentments of having had to follow the traditional path for a woman of marriage and a family, instead of pursuing a career as a dancer.
TROY: WOMEN & WAR captures the essence of the Trojan War through the eyes of its women – how it began, how it ended, and the physical, emotional, and psychological brutalities suffered by the Trojan women.
TALES FROM THE ARABIAN NIGHTS enchants with four magical tales adapted from Scheherazade’s thousand and one Arabian nights, and presented in MDTC’s signature style of dance/story theater.
THROUGH HER EYES is a joyous, multi-media, dance celebration of women’s contributions to world culture, and takes you on a journey to the Near East through the ages, from Ancient Mesopotamia to the present day.
“Inspired by the actors’ costumes and expressions and by a musical collage, but mostly by the richness of words, the audience is lulled into fantasy.”
—Robert Johnson, The Star-Ledger
