I too saw it. I went this afternoon. I agree with Angelica that Ferri is amazing in her ability to convey emotion in stillness, as well as in motion. Expression pours from her face and every part of her body, every moment she is on stage. The character's inner life is fully revealed to us. Cornejo was credible, but his was more "ballet acting" than the natural fullness brought to us by Ferri. I'd recommend it, particularly for Ferri. Also, on the whole I felt the drama of the story is well presented. $25 dollars and an hour of my time to see great artistry, to my way of thinking is quite a deal.

I found "Cheri" to be beautifully conceived and executed by everyone involved. I can only add that the raw emotions displayed by both Ferri and Cornejo were deep and affecting. The choreography was quite complimentary to these emotions and was gorgeously performed by both dancers. For me it was interesting to see these two "classical" dancers expanding their repertoire with no trace of falseness or pretense. Story telling at it's best and most creative. My only wish was that the program could have listed the various works performed by the elegant pianist, Sarah Rothenberg. I recognized a few works of Ravel and Poulenc, but wished for a more complete listing. But kudos to all!
