Celebrating three decades of fusing Irish and global dance, Grammy-winning music, and stunning stage shows, Riverdance 30: The New Generation rejuvenates the original show with innovative choreography and costumes. Act 1, “A Primitive & Powerful World,” deals with ancestral peoples coming to terms with the world and with themselves through negotiations with elemental powers. In Act 2, “We Learned to Belong to the World,” war, famine, and slavery have shattered the bonds between people and place. While exploring Irish emigration, this act weaves in creative elements from other cultures, including the melting pot of the United States. $39.95, 7:30pm. John Paul Jones Arena, 295 Massie Rd. johnpauljonesarena.com
