WITH SPECIAL APPEARANCE BY EVA AYLLON:
Over the decades the African culture in Peru went through a series of phases ranging from the establishment of traditions to almost extinction. Today Afro-Peruvian dance is the pride of Peruvian folklore, but the journey to establish this title embodies rise and falls that are still unclear to the Peruvian society. Alma en Boca moves its way through Afro-Peruvian history, a tale that has yet been expressed through contemporary dance.
“This project has been in the works for a year but has taken five years to research,” says Marcela Diaz, Artistic Director and Choreographer of the show, “I support the notion that a culture can be expressed through any well researched artistic approach even if the culture heavily relies on tradition. What better way to share information about a culture than to bring alive its history.” The performance will take place on October 1, 2011 at The Colony Theatre located at 1040 Lincoln Road, Miami Beach, FL 33139. Showtimes are at 5:30 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. Buy your tickets at The Colony Theatre Box Office and No Fees Will be applied. For more information Call 786-444-6726.
