    Society for the Performing Arts (SPA), presents Compagnie La Baraka, Abou Lagraa, Artistic Director, at 8pm Saturday, February 26, 2011, in Wortham Center's Cullen Theater. Part of the 2010-2011 "Experience the Magic" Season IW Marks Dance Series.

    Direct from Lyon, France, Compagnie La Baraka, led by Artistic Director Abou Lagraa, will perform A World in Itself, a new work choreographed by Lagraa featuring seven dancers and live music played by the Debussy Quartet.

    French-born, but of Algerian descent, Lagraa founded his truly multicultural Compagnie La Barak in 1997 with many of his dancers originating from countries and cultures other than France.

    The Debussy Quartet is well known for its passionate devotion to the French repertoire. Formed in 1990 by a group of young musicians studying at the Conservatoire de Lyon, France, the Debussy Quartet has established its reputation as one of the finest quartets touring and recording today.
