Club Havana
The intoxicating rhythms of the Conga, Rumba, Mambo, and Cha Cha are brought to life by choreographer Pedro Ruiz, himself a native of Cuba, as he imagined his very own “Club Havana.”
Con Brazos Abiertos
Michelle Manzanales explores with humility, nostalgia and humor the iconic Mexican symbols that she was reluctant to embrace as a Mexican-American child growing up in Texas. Intertwining folkloric details with a distinctly contemporary voice in dance, set to music that ranges from Julio Iglesias to rock en español, Con Brazos Abiertos is a fun and frank look at a life caught between two cultures.
Waiting for Pepe
Inspired by Federico García Lorca’s classic drama The House of Bernarda Alba, Waiting for Pepe by Carlos Pons Guerra explores universal themes of oppression and the transcendent longing for freedom. Pons Guerra infuses García Lorca’s tale of family intrigue with the exuberant theatricality of Latin films and telenovelas.
Linea Recta
From one of today’s most sought-after choreographers, Linea Recta is a powerful and resonant work that explores an intriguing aspect of flamenco dance: the conspicuous absence of physical partnering. While maintaining the integrity and hallmark passion of the genre, Colombian – Belgian, Annabelle Lopez Ochoa imagines an original and explosive movement language premised upon the theme of partnership and performed to flamenco guitar by Eric Vaarzon Morel.
