Mátalor: A Hard Rock Dance Opera

Mátalor, a conceptual hard rock dance opera based on an avant-garde imagining of Romeo and Juliet, will have its World Premiere at Melbourne’s Chapel off Chapel in October. Mátalor promises to shock, entertain and inspire.

Choreographed by Stephan Agisilaou (Creative Director of Vertical Shadows, Choreographer on 'So You Think You Can Dance') and Adam Blakey (Multi Australian Dancesport Championships Winner).

Mátalor combines contemporary, jazz, Latin and ballroom dance.

From the athleticism of the opening number that sees tribes go to war in a rigorous street fight to the dreamlike masquerade ball, Mátalor promises a provocative choreographic exploration of passion, allegiance, freedom and love.

Chapel off Chapel, Prahran. October 12–22. Bookings: www.chapeloffchapel.com.au
