Breakthrough? Western dance company performs in Saudi Arabia
mainIMG has announced that it has quietly staged a touring performance of Shadowland in Riyadh last month.
They claim this as:
– The First Performance by an International Dance Company in The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
– The First Performance of Any Kind with a Male and Female Cast Performing Together
– The First Performance of Any Kind with a Female Lead Character.
It seems like there are several hopeful breakthroughs happening in Saudi Arabia during last few months.
Expect they’ll hang onto public beheadings and limb chopping though. You don’t want to throw all tradition out the window…
You may be right of course. But at least, before becoming limbless and/or headless, people would have a chance to enjoy a nice dance performance.
