Rennie Harris Puremovements

Rome & Jewels shows Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights at 8:00, with a Saturday matinee at 2:00.

Showcasing the talents of more than a dozen dynamic Hip-hop dancers, this is a Romeo & Juliet unlike any version you’ve seen before. Dueling DJs lay the beats for the Bessie Award-winning production Rome & Jewels — a story of fear, love, and triumph set in the streets of Philadelphia and deeply rooted in the traditions of Hip-Hop, popping, break dance, and more. “The Basquiat of the U.S. contemporary dance scene” (The London Times), Rennie Harris returns to OZ Arts following his electrifying Nuttin’ But a Word in 2021 with this radical reinvention of the timeless tale, embodying the diverse African-Diasporic traditions of the past and paving the way for innovative storytelling through dance. Don’t miss this opportunity to experience the explosive talents of Rennie Harris Puremovement in action!
