World Premiere of The Rebecca Davis Dance Company's new contemporary ballet Helen Keller
November 2 & 3, 2007 at The Prince Music Theater.

Helen Keller transcends a traditional account of blind-deaf Helen Keller's amazing life story. Infused with surprising romance and little-known true-life drama, Helen Keller visits Helen's tragic early illness, her family's struggle, and the events that would connect Helen with Anne Sullivan, the courageous ambassador who would unlock Helen's mind. But Rebecca Davis' Helen Keller goes beyond the dazzling moment at the water pump, to discover Helen tackling her unprecedented education at Radcliffe College. Audiences gain new insight to the intertwined life story of Helen and Anne, as Anne struggles to balance her stewardship of Helen against her own burgeoning romance with John Macy. Together, Anne and Helen accomplish an astonishing life. - Alaina Mabaso
