The Me I Leave Behind/Earth section from POONSHOW

This dance is the earth section (Bollywood meets the Garden of Earthly Delights) from POONSHOW performed at PS122 in April '03. All shows are conceived and choreographed by Jordana Che Toback and all Music is by Tom Rossi. POON Productions creates eclectic dance driven musicals and sets them in night clubs, theaters and warehouses all over nyc, in order to expose people to the many different cultures living right next door. As a universal celebration of human sensuality, our shows are ultimately designed to seduce the audience into immediate, visceral connection with the performance, stimulating all of the senses as it pulls the spectator from the mundane world into one of exalted revery and passion. The mission of each individual show (currently there are 3) is to create a unique world where primal rhythm and divine beauty are merged through movement and music. Each site specific performance spectacle is comprised of an amalgamation of dance and musical styles from around the world. Each style is chosen because of it's inherent power to entice, mystify, dazzle and astonish. Utilizing a provocative brew of elaborate, multi-dimensional costume design, erotic imagery and subversive choreography, the shows are bound together by a drum driven, live world orchestra, which elegantly fuses contemporary Electronica and Rock with the ancient and earthy sounds of Africa, Cuba, India, the Middle East and beyond, depending on the show.
