Rennie Harris: Rome & Jewels

Rennie Harris: Rome & Jewels

Presented by Pittsburgh Playhouse at Point Park University at Pittsburgh Playhouse at Point Park University

Honoring Rennie Harris Puremovement's 30th anniversary, legendary choreographer Rennie Harris returns to the great city of Pittsburgh, PA with his classic work, Rome & Jewels. Set in the streets of Philadelphia, the Bessie Award-winning production is a story of fear, love, and triumph, rooted in the traditions of Hip-Hop and street dance. “The Basquiat of the U.S. contemporary dance scene” (The London Times), Harris reinvents a timeless tale to embody the diverse African-Diasporic traditions of the past and to pave the way for innovative storytelling through dance.
