The Sam Houston State University Department of Theatre and Dance is presenting Bareface, a narrative work of dance theater based on “Till We Have Faces” by C.S. Lewis.
The concert begins at 8 p.m. Thursday and Friday and 2 p.m. Saturday at the ABIII Dance Theatre at Sam Houston State University.
In tandem with “Bareface,” Dr. Peter Kreeft will give a lecture over C.S. Lewis and his last novel, “Till We Have Faces.”
The talk starts at 2 p.m. Friday in the Mafrige Auditorium located in the Smith-Hutson Building on the SHSU campus. The event is open to the public and students. Admission is free.
Cheryl Callon, an advanced graduate student at SHSU, organized the event to include Kreeft’s lecture because she wanted to bring an academic audience to an arts event.
“I’m pitching it as a C.S. Lewis weekend in Huntsville,” she said.
Kreeft is a professor of philosophy at Boston College and at the King’s College in New York City. He is a the author of over 45 books, including, “Handbook of Christian Apologetics,” “Christianity for Modern Pagans” and “Fundamentals of the Faith.” Kreeft will speak again Feb. 9 from 8:30-10 a.m. at First United Methodist Church. FUMC is hosting a breakfast for Kreeft, and he is giving a short lecture titled “C.S. Lewis for Today’s World.” For more information on Kreeft, visit his website at www.peterkreeft.com.
“Bareface” is the graduate thesis concert of Callon. Callon is a Master of Fine Arts candidate who choreographed and produced the concert.
