in the arena, not everything is pink
Inspired by the photographs of Sol Aramendi, this piece is about
ritual, superstition and fighting arenas where we individually and
collectively meet our demons. Six dancers debate gender roles,
undertake santeria cleansing rituals and emerge ready to take on
the battle of their own existence. The work is dance theater with
an epic sound score and lighting that emphasizes the over-the-
top dramatization of their collective exorcism.
This production is the sixth in the Hostos Center's two-year
project, The Young Roots Performance Series that showcases
emerging artists experimenting with the artistic roots of Afro-
Latino traditions to create new branches that reach into the
future.
