ShowDown is choreographer David Parker’s rollicking, all-dance, re-imagining of “Annie Get Your Gun” created for The Bang Group. Working with recordings from Irving Berlin’s musical comedy classic, “Annie Get Your Gun,” made by Judy Garland and Howard Keel for the 1949 MGM film, the songs slip their narrative moorings and sail through a contemporary, genre-fluid dance world. The piece unravels the venerable musical’s themes of a showdown between the sexes, the lure of show business and the juncture of love and ambition and reassembles them with grace and vigor into a wholly new experience.
