Mexico Now and National Sawdust present AG!D in Art of the In-Between

Donkey Jaw Bone. Dancer Yusaku Komori Julieta Cervantes

In ART OF THE IN-BETWEEN the body meets borders in two dance productions by choreographer, Karole Armitage and her company, Armitage Gone! Dance. Dancers move between divergent worlds, celebrating Mexico’s rich mixture of indigenous and European cultures, to explore the morphing self. The evening opens with Dia de los Muertos – a joyful, subversive comedy of screwball surrealism for a gang of dancing skeletons. Donkey Jaw Bone follows, inspired by Mexican’s theatrical wrestling form, Lucha Libre sitting at the border of sport, dance and ritual with live music performed on pre-Columbian instruments. Ticket $29 at National Sawdust Website.
