BATH — Resurgence Dance Company’s We Are Rebels will premiere at the Chocolate Church Arts Center, 804 Washington Street, at 7 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, Jan. 17 and 18.

We Are Rebels is an original contemporary ballet that promises to enthrall all types of audience members as they witness the tale of Fea, a young woman who decides to take a stand against an unjust government. Fea will dare to leave her job in The Palace, say good bye to her sister, and risk everything to find a fulfilling path. The Queen has people looking out for her, and discovers Fea’s plans to join the Rebel Army. Sending a powerful assassin after Fea and her compatriots, The Queen continues on with her experimental human testing, knowing that the Rebels won’t be a problem for long.

Set in a dystopian future, lines will divide even those in The Palace, preparing everyone for the imminent battle between good and evil. This ballet introduces a cast of characters that includes a blissfully ignorant King, a naive intern, and a mad scientist. Their stories are told through contemporary dance, electronica music, and acting.

Within two years of establishment the Resurgence Dance Company, directed by Ashley Steeves, has performed two shows at the Tony Dance Studio in Bath, staged a production at the Chocolate Church Arts Center, appeared with multiple sister dance companies, and conducted auditions seeking new talent. According to Steeves, the RDC goal is to engage adult dancers in contemporary ballet movements, giving them something they are excited to present onstage.

Tickets are $20 pre-sale at www.chocolatechurch.com/tickets and $25 at the door or available by calling 207-442-8455. This is a full length contemporary ballet featuring electronic beats, anime style costuming, and is set in the dystopian future. This show may not be suitable for young children.
