Description
Ballet Magnificat! tours year round, nationally and internationally, sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ through ballet of the highest quality. Praise His Name With Dancing, a Christain dance ministry out of Norton, Ohio, is honored to be able to host the company in Akron for the first time in their 38 year history.
For one night only, Ballet Magnificat! will be sharing their original story ballet, "Stratagem," inspired by C. S. Lewis' Christian apologetic novel "The Screw Tape Letters." From the Ballet Magnificat! website:
"Stratagem: a plan or scheme, especially one used to outwit an opponent or achieve an end.
Our newest ballet Stratagem, inspired by C.S. Lewis' highly acclaimed "Screwtape Letters", reveals the great spiritual battle being waged by Satan and his demonic forces. The story is actually told from the perspective of our enemy in order to reveal to us the extent of demonic activity that affects our lives as humans, Christians and non-Christians alike. This ballet is an exposition of such a real and pertinent battle, and is presented in an artistic and theatrical fashion. With opposing angelic forces, complex human characters, and a set of quirky, precocious demons, audience members are invited to partake in a playful yet sobering story of temptation and deception."
