“Spirited cadre of terrific dancers…Irresistible…full-hearted”- The New York Times
For fifty years Ballet Hispánico has been the leading voice intersecting artistic excellence and advocacy and is now the largest Latinx cultural organization in the United States and one of America’s Cultural Treasures. With its bold and eclectic brand of contemporary dance, and exemplary artistry and passion, Ballet Hispánico will perform a trio of works from its celebrated repertoire:
Arabesque – Vicente Nebrada’s elegant suite of dances is set to the music of Spanish composer, Enrique Granados. The piece is a lush contemporary ballet rooted in Spanish influences and traces of flamenco.
Tiburone – Annabelle Lopez Ochoa addresses the discrimination and stereotypes placed upon Latinx culture and the power the media has in portraying these themes by diminishing the voices of Latinx artists.
18+1 – Gustavo Ramírez Sansano celebrates 19 years as a choreographer with this display of subtle humor and electric choreography. The movement merges with the playful rhythms found in Pérez Prado’s mambo music.
