A WORK IN PROGRESS!

Discover "Too soon to discover planets, too late to discover islands:"
Tap dance, live music, masks, and physical theater come together as the acclaimed artist stages encounters rooted in Taíno and early colonial Puerto Rican history - exploring and exploding themes of myth, violence, and resistence.
