The evening will feature Suite Huasteca, a contemporary celebration of the golden age of Spanish Baroque by New York-based choreographer David Fernandez. Music by celebrated Mexican composer/musician Jesus Echevarria. The vivid sun-drenched colors of Mexico come through in the projected art backdrops by contemporary Mexican artist Gabriela Rosado Rivera. Suite Huasteca was developed with the support of the Mexican Cultural Institute in New York and the office of the Consul General of Mexico.
Among the program’s other highlights, Pedro Ruiz’s Guajira recalls recalls life in the Cuban countryside danced to an insistent Afro-Cuban beat. Tamoia introduces Brazilian-born choreographer Humberto Teixeira to the NJB audience. His ballet a high-voltage contemporary piece set in the Amazon rainforest. Teixeira weaves together influences from the variety of cultures and music from Europe, Africa and the indigenous people of the forest.
Also on the program, one of NJB’s great crowd-pleasers, Para Dois (pas de deux in Portuguese) is a high-energy romp inspired by Brazilian street dancing. It was co-choreographed by NJB dancer Junio Teixeira, who performs the piece with Ana Luiza Luizi.
“[NJ Ballet] is resplendent in its energy and diversity.”
