LEWISTON — Androscoggin Dance will present “A Magical Performance,” featuring two ballets, on Saturday, March 5, at the Franco-American Heritage Center.

“La Boutique Fantasque” is a classical ballet about a doll shop that comes to life. “The Magic Painting” is a contemporary ballet about two young artists who are beckoned into the ballet, and their struggle to return to the artist studio.

The one-act classical ballet “La Boutique Fantasque,” conceived by Leonide Massine, a Russian choreographer and ballet dancer, premiered in London in 1919.

Building upon the original story line and themes, Androscoggin Dance Company Artistic Director Elizabeth Hansen choreographed the performance to include a mix of classical ballet and character dancing such as the cancan, mazurka and cossack.

“La Boutique Fantasque,” also known as “The Magic Doll Shop,” tells a story for children, but also presents moral issues that teens and adults can relate to.

“The Magic Painting,” a new work choreographed by Amelia Pullen, tells a story of good versus evil and takes the audience into an imaginary world of jewel-toned colors, strong movement and design.

Performances will be at 2 and 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $15 for adults, $10 for children 12 and younger. Call L/A Arts at 782-7228 or visit www.androscoggindance.org.
