EarthBodyHOME is an evening length multi-media dance theater piece inspired by the life, work and legacy of Cuban artist Ana Mendieta (1948-1985). Born in Cuba, Ana Mendieta was well known for her enigmatic "Earth Body" works, inspired by the goddesses of Afro-Cuban Santería, and Mayan and Taíno mythologies. Bay Area choreographer Amara Tabor-Smith, in collaboration with co-madre/director Dohee Lee, composer Jackeline Rago, video artist Eric Koziol, visual artist Dana Kawano, and performers Laura "Larry" Arrington, Zoe Klein, and Xandra Ibarra, present a ritual based performance that contemplates the role of myth in our contemporary society. Commissioned by ODC Theater, EarthBodyHOME weaves together a dream-like allegory of exile, disruption, spiritual longing, patriarchy in the art world, and a spirits return to mother earth.
