Dance, Drink and Dabble with EPHEMERA at the Elektra Theater, Starting Tonight

EPHEMERA: Dancing, Drinking, Debauchery. EPHEMERA invites you to immerse yourself in a dance theater experience featuring a scintillating love triangle, a completely original score, and sinfully delicious cocktails.

Join seven dancers in a Manhattan bar as they experience a night of drinking, flirting, and salaciousness. Using elements of jazz, funk, and electronic music to create a distinctly new score, EPHEMERA takes the audience on a dance based journey as seven unique characters search for compelling and satisfying relationships.

At EPHEMERA, the adventure in which you partake is largely up to you - as an active participant, or as a voyeur. After all, we don't like to tell anyone how they should enjoy a party. We do, however, highly suggest kicking back with a cocktail (or three) from our exceptionally customized drink menu. Each ticket includes one complimentary drink.
