About This Season's Programming
BUSCANDO A JUAN | WORLD PREMIERE
Eduardo Vilaro
Inspired by Juan de Pareja: Afro-Hispanic Painter exhibited at The Met, Buscando a Juan ("Looking for Juan") explores the "sancocho"—literally, mixed soup—of cultures and diasporas. Through the exoticized body and fixation on gesture and sensuality, Buscando a Juan will consider the assumptions experienced when witnessing people of color in traditionally white spaces.
HOUSE OF MAD'MOISELLE
Annabelle Lopez Ochoa
Originally created in 2010 for her first full company work. In House of Mad'moiselle, internationally-acclaimed choreographer Annabelle Lopez Ochoa takes us on a wild romp through a campy world that explores iconic female representations found in Latin American culture. From femme fatales to the delicate language of fans, boas and Latin dance, the work highlights how the culture is enamored and obsessed with the iconic high-octane female stars of past and present.
18+1
Gustavo Ramírez Sansano
18+1 celebrates Gustavo's 19 years as a choreographer and the vulnerability, care, and hope that comes with each artistic endeavor. In a display of subtle humor and electric choreography, the movement merges with the playful rhythms found in Pérez Prado's mambo music. Sansano draws from his history and memory to take a joyous look at the past, present, and coming future.
