Bindis and Bruises is part of the dance theater’s social justice mission of “performance with a purpose.” The ensemble hopes the show will break the silence about “dating and domestic violence” in the country.
Performances will run every Friday and Saturday from March 4-19 at the Ebenezer Lutheran Church at 8 p.m. Tickets are available on danztheatre.org.
