PHILADANCO! upholds the lineage of Black American concert dance with a performance that includes Thang Dao’s striking Roked; Tommie-Waheed Evans’ emotionally charged Promise Me You Won’t Call; and a new creation by Rennie Harris, set to the unmistakable sound of Philadelphia celebrating the legacy of Philadelphia International Records. The engagement also marks the 25th anniversary of Christopher Huggins’ epic tour de force, Enemy Behind the Gates.
