Following its acclaimed return to the Shakespeare Theatre Company’s Klein Theatre earlier this season, Synetic Theater brings its celebrated adaptation of Antony and Cleopatra to Arlington, continuing performances at the Thomas Jefferson Theatre. Audiences will experience Synetic’s signature approach to storytelling which fuses dynamic physicality, striking visual design, and original choreography to reimagine Shakespeare’s epic tragedy without a single spoken word.
Long regarded as one of Synetic’s most powerful productions, Antony and Cleopatra transforms Shakespeare’s sweeping tale of political ambition and impossible love into a visceral, movement-driven experience. Upon its premiere in 2010, Peter Marks of The Washington Post wrote “With its spectacular rendition…Synetic Theater unquestionably ascends to the first rank of Washington ensembles.” See for yourself Synetic’s stunning synthesis of original music, precision movement, wild acrobatics, and Georgian sword dancing–bringing to life one of the Bard’s most epic tales.
Antony & Cleopatra opens on February 21st at Thomas Jefferson Theatre in Arlington, and will run through March 8th. For more information, visit https://synetictheater.org/events/antony-cleopatra/
