Annabella Gonzalez Dance Theater's Festejo

Tickets and Information

Featured are two world premieres and dances from the Company's repertoire. Many works reflect AGDT's provocative mix of European and American classical music with a Latin flavor. The varied program -- with abstract, theatrical and comedic dances -- challenges and engages. The premieres are Pastoral Latino, a sextet by Annabella Gonzalez set to an original score by contemporary New York City composer Seymour Barab that explores Latin rhythms within dynamic patterns, and One Hundred Days of Sunshine, a solo by talented guest choreographer Maxine Steinman to music by Giovanni Battista Pergolesi. Repertoire by Ms. Gonzalez includes the popular quartet Descent/Ascent with intricate lifts and classical music by modern Mexican composer Max Lifchitz and "Window," a solo liberating a static Vermeer painting to the dramatic sounds of a rain storm. Mozartmania, an outrageous balletic satire, is performed to an early Mozart work with glittering tutus and feathers!
