Koresh Dance Company presents
“Masquerade”
Immerse yourself in the space where reality and fiction intertwine in “Masquerade,” an intra-active, contemporary, operatic dance performance set to electronic symphonic music, sung live by soprano Sage DeAgro-Ruopp. The work was created during the company’s 2022 “Made in Wickenburg” artist residency and premiered in Philadelphia as part of the company’s 2023 Home Season.
Returning for their third visit, this internationally acclaimed, Philadelphia-based troupe artfully finds the line between beauty and innovation — then boldly dances on it — and this truly unique theatrical work is no exception, creating a world where truth belongs to the imagination of the beholder.
Behind-the-Scenes open rehearsals Wed, Oct. 29 & Wed, Nov. 5 from 2 – 5 PM at the Webb Center. Reservations are not required for this open house-style event.

Koresh Dance Company
The season opens with Koresh Dance Company, performing “Masquerade,” which blends live dance with music and features soprano and composer Sage DeAgro-Ruopp. The dance is supported with choreography by Roni Koresh, whose work represents his experience of both Israeli and American cultures. Born and raised in Israel, he received early dance training from his mother, a folk dancer in the Yemenite tradition. Avoiding terms such as ballet, modern or folk, Koresh simply calls his work “dance.” The Philadelphia Inquirer wrote, “Koresh Dance Company’s ‘Masquerade’ shines in the glorious talent of its guest artist Sage DeAgro-Ruopp.”
