Movimento!  Early Dance and Theatre Ensemble

Movimento! re-creates the beauty and magic of dance and theatrical spectacle in Europe’s princely courts in order to present fragments of our mediaeval, renaissance and baroque heritage.

The streets of medieval Paris come to life in a joyous celebration of the miracles of Christmas as a cast of more than 50 dancers and acrobats portray noblemen, courtesans, gypsies and paupers who define the true spirit of giving.

Taking place during the feast of St. Nicholas, the merriment includes a wedding celebration, a banner parade, a feast of fools and more, all taking place while beggars entertain for their day’s take and townspeople gleefully revel in the festivities. Court of Miracles is a celebration of the separate worlds of rich and poor coexisting joyfully.
