When the Parisian police inflict tragedy on her community of Outcasts, Esmeralda--a resilient and fierce-hearted immigrant--vows to emancipate her people from a prejudiced system. But unlikely alliances, and impossible attractions, blur the boundaries between the oppressed and their oppressors, and Esmeralda soon finds herself at the heart of a passion-driven conspiracy. Expressively told through dance, spoken language, and sign language, Dancing Girl re-presents the themes from Victor Hugo's Notre-Dame de Paris, revitalizing the beloved tragedy for a new era. Dancing Girl is premiering with the SheNYC Arts at the Connelly Theater as a part of the 2019 SheNYC Arts Festival. SheNYC supports gender parity in the arts, amplifying the voices of female-identifying writers, directors, and producers.
