Program:
House of Mad’moiselle
House of Mad’moiselle, by internationally acclaimed choreographer Annabelle Lopez Ochoa, is a wild romp through the layered symbols of Latin American femininity. It revels in the drama, elegance, and defiance of iconic women who blur the lines between myth and memory.

Sombrerisimo (excerpt)
Inspired by the surrealist world of Belgian painter René Magritte, famous for his paintings of men in bowler hats, Annabelle Lopez Ochoa’s Sombrerísimo references the iconic sombreros (hats) found throughout the world that help to represent culture. Originally choreographed for an all-male cast, Sombrerísimo has evolved into a work that can also be performed by an all-female or mixed-gender cast.

Tango Vitrola (excerpt)
Alejandro Cervera’s Tango Vitrola conjures a metaphysical space that highlights the struggle between men and women through simple yet poetic patterns.
