Thursday, September 26, 7:30 p.m. – Malevo is the exciting male group specializing in Malambo, a traditional Argentine folk dance of great masculinity and skill. Founded by director, choreographer and dancer Matías Jaime, the group pushes Malambo beyond its limits with a modern, avant-garde and transgressive approach, combining it with other dance styles such as flamenco and urban percussion. They had the honor of being semi-finalists on the hit TV show “America’s Got Talent.”

Saturday, September 28th, 7:30pm – In “Haunted Objects Live!” Greg & Dana Newkirk take you on a journey through history, folklore and true stories of encounters with objects that seem to have a life of their own.
