Jane Comfort and Company will present Beauty, Friday, Feb. 5, at 7 p.m., at The Theatre at Raritan Valley Community College, Branchburg.
The presentation is part of the Theatre's Major Artists Series.
The troupe creates dance theater works that push the intersection of movement and language to a new form of theater. A provocative dance theater work exploring the American notion of female beauty, Beauty frames the dialogue of the cultural pressures surrounding women's physique, attire, and appearance around the quintessential image of American beauty: Barbie.
Beauty includes a Barbie beauty contest and an intimate encounter between Barbie and Ken. During the performance, the audience becomes acquainted with the performers as Barbie dolls, as contestants, as characters with beauty aspirations, and as the dancers behind all of these personas.
