...Away, set to the songs of Frank Sinatra. Ol' Blue Eyes has been an obsession of hers for years--this is the fourth dance piece she's created for his music--and she's ready for the critics to complain that she's repeating herself. Yet this high-low priestess explains her new approach--the show is set in a nightclub and follows the relationships of four couples--by citing writers like Tolstoy and Balzac (she's been devouring both lately) as well as the Ernest Borgnine movie Marty (which provides the model for one of the couples).

McBride ’13, who took the course last semester and traces her roots back to Haiti, appreciated Bergin’s desire to debunk stereotypes, such as those about voodooism, which Bergin did by bringing in a voodoo priestess as a guest speaker.

But the priestess has placed a curse on the Emperor: his eyes start bleeding a brown syrup and, in no time, he turns into a chocolate soldier. He and his thousands of soldiers are encased in terracotta - until 1946, when a modern Chinese general (Anthony Wong) sets Emperor Han free to wreak havoc on his homeland...
