James Kudelka: From the House of Mirth

James Kudelka's From the House of Mirth is running from May 9 to 13 at The Citadel. The new east-end performing arts space-cum-yoga studio at 304 Parliament Street was recently created in a former Salvation Army building by dancer-choreographers Bill Coleman and Laurence Lemieux, founders of Coleman Lemieux and Compagnie. Inspired by a novel by Edith Wharton, From the House of Mirth is composed by Rodney Sharman, with a libretto by Alex Poch-Goldin. It is interpreted by dancers Lemieux, Victoria Bertram, Claudia Moore and Christianne Ullmark to music from a male vocal quartet and a live chamber orchestra.

The opening night on Wednesday, May 9 has already sold out; an additional performance has been added on Sunday, May 13 at 8 p.m. For tickets and further information, call 416-364-8011 or visit the event page.
