Rosanna Tavarez / LA DANSA DANSA: Piece X Piece & Bianca Cabrera/Blind Tiger Society: Fever Dreams
SEE EVENT DETAILS
Piece x Piece presents Tavarez's mother's immigration story to explore the challenges of transitioning from one territory to a drastically new one. It toggles between the escapist, rags-to-riches fantasy narratives of telenovelas and the heartbreaking reality of the immigrant experience, utilizing sewing as a metaphor for the deconstruction of "The American Dream".
Fever Dreams is a dizzying dance spectacle based on Mexican folk Artist Pedro Linares' Cartoneria known as Alebrije. Ornate and vibrantly colored costumes decorate dancers as they transform into Linares' mythical creatures who are as loud and unapologetic as the heat hallucinations that sired them. Wild imagery and sensuous yet eerie movements are the backbone of these birds of paradise and they haunt the space with stories of longing, lust and looming fears.
