Ghostlight begins its 9th Season with the first of a three-part cabaret experience devised by Ensemble Member Khnemu Menu-Ra, 3 Stages of Love.
The semi-autobiographical work features a blend of Shakespeare and song – along with original pieces. The full series will run over the course of the season — no need to attend all three, each piece stands alone as a complete work, but a richer story unfolds if you see the entire cycle.
The three-part series kicks off in September with Part 1: ORIGINS OF LOVE: The Miseducation of Dr. K.
Not familiar with cabaret as an artform? Cabaret is a form of theatrical entertainment dating back to 15th century Paris and features music song, dance, recitation and/or drama. The performance venue is usually a pub, bar, restaurant, nightclub or even, occasionally, a casino with a space for performances. The audience is often dining and drinking during the performance. Cabaret is often (but not always) oriented towards adult audiences with a an underground history.
