One day away from our New Works Festival! This Fri and Sat at 6:30p. Make sure to catch Tearra and Belle in their piece Ritmos a Jogar.

Drawing from Afro Brazilian and Afro Boricua traditions of Capoeira, Dança Orixas, and Bomba, this work is an homage to ancestral technologies that hold life energy and resiliency through the cycling of dance, music, and community. As artists whose paths have diasporic threads in common, Alvarez and Oso weave personal stories shaping futurity, divine healing, and remembrance across land, oceans, and embodiment.
