Duane Smith Auditorium | Los Alamos, NM
Join us in welcoming the acclaimed Dance Theater from Tucson, Arizona as they present “Stories from Home” at the Duane Smith Auditorium. “Stories From Home” is a vessel for personal and specific tales, while also offering a broader look at various cultural traditions throughout the Southwest.
The grounded, sometimes incongruous choreography embraces abrupt shapes and connected, fluid shifts, balancing disarticulation with a moody softness.
The work addresses themes such as the Bracero Program, the creation of the Atomic Bomb in Northern New Mexico and illness related to U.S. Government projects, loss of language because of 1940’s Americanization programs, the experience of the Sephardim people during and after the Spanish Inquisition, family, love, and querencia.
