Synetic kicks off its inaugural season in Crystal City with a new, wordless epic – King Arthur. Drawing from a rich pool of centuries-old myths and legends, King Arthur weaves together mystery, magic, heroes and romance in an adaptation that will see the legend reborn in Synetic’s signature mixture of movement, music, combat and drama.
And to make a splashy entrance into Crystal City, Synetic will showcase the company’s fluid movement style on its first-ever water stage. Ask about our Splash Zone!
King Arthur stars Ben Cunis (Antony in Antony and Cleopatra) as the titular king, Vato Tsikurishvili as Lancelot, Brynn Tucker as Guinevere, Irina Koval as Morgan le Fay, and Domingo Quezada as Merlin. The production also features Kathryn Elizabeth Kelly, Thomas Matthews, Sean Pedersen, Peter Pereyra, Hector Reynoso, JR Russ, Dallas Tolentino, Ryan Tumulty, and Matthew Ward.
