The Bentley Theater was transformed into a mid-1960s nun's office this weekend, complete with a rotary telephone, crucifix and portrait of the pope.

Athough not well-known in North America, Ponifasio's dance company MAU is one of the preeminent dance troupes in New Zealand. Its two performances of "Tempest," held on Friday and Saturday nights in the Moore Theater at the Hopkins Center, comprise one of only three scheduled engagements in the United States and its only appearance on the East coast.

"Tis Pity She's a Whore" begins with the dashing young Giovanni (Neil Basu '11) confessing his forbidden love for Annabella (Olivia Baptista '12).

Disgusted by the siblings' illicit affair, an aghast friar (Jaymes Sanchez '13) warns Giovanni that such a union can only bring disaster. Ignoring the friar's advice, the two siblings pursue their love affair with help from their batty tutor Putana, (the wonderfully comic Lelia TahaBurt '11). Predictably, disaster ensues.
