Shaia Hosts Beata and Horacio Cifuentes! October, 2010
Shaia is proud to announce that Beata and Horacio Cifuentes of Berlin, Germany (www.oriental-fantasy.com) will perform on Friday, October 22, 2010 at the Humphrey Scottish Rite Masonic Center, 790 N. Van Buren St. in Milwaukee, and teach a weekend of workshops - see "Workshops" for details.
Beata and Horacio created the concept of the Oriental-Fantasy-Shows, a unique full evening theatre show. This concept of taking the oriental dance from the night club to a theatrical level with backdrops, especially commissioned music productions (made in Egypt), splendid luxurious costumes and tours all over the world is a novelty and the two play a trendsetting role for many dancers.
ORIENTAL FANTASY
Ever since Beata and Horacio founded Oriental Fantasy, an entire new production is created every other year. The gorgeous music is created, composed and recorded in Cairo in coalition with famous Egyptian composers and top musicians. The dressmakers of Cairo are busy for months creating the elaborate costumes, all handmade and embroiderd in oriental tradition. Beata and Horacio are presenting their program with bursting enthusiasm. A show fitted out in such a magical way that the audience is transported and their fantasies nourished with everything from exotic power right through to Egyptian Folklore. They have transformed oriental dance into an impressive theatrical art form.
