Overview

  • The Compañía Nacional de Danza concludes its Coreógrafos Internacionales program today after performances on August 29 and 30 at the Palacio de Bellas Artes.
  • The lineup features five works, including the world premiere of Gratidão created for the company by Juliano Nunes.
  • Nacho Duato’s Gnawa, the longest piece on the bill at about 20 minutes, anchors a program that also includes Ricardo Amarante, Arshak Ghalumyan, and James B. Whiteside.
  • Selections are shown in shortened versions, with Whiteside presenting a fragment from the first part of New American Romance and Amarante offering the final duet from Love, Fear, Loss with live piano.
  • Ghalumyan’s Mare crisium runs about 10 minutes with a female cast, as CND artistic director Érick Rodríguez frames the series as a way to connect global choreographers with the company’s dancers.
