The Island’s leading ballet and contemporary dance company returns to New York after 12 years, with a mixed repertory program that highlights the company’s artistry and versatility. The opening work is “Festival” from Pico Rico Mandorico, choreographed by the renowned Peruvian choreographer Jimmy Gamonet and based on the short story by Puerto Rican children’s author Rosario Ferré. It is followed by a pas de deux, Desire, by Ballet Austin Artistic Director Stephen Mills, which is inspired by the difficult emotion of letting go. Demonstrating its “on point” technical ability, Ballet Concierto perform selections from the classic French ballet La Vivandière by Arthur Saint Leon and Fanny Cerrito. The first half concludes with a staple from the Company’s repertoire Muñecos, by the Cuban Choreographer Alberto Méndez and based on the story known since the origins of the theater about two dolls coming to life during the night.
On the second half of the program, Ballet Concierto de Puerto Rico performs one of their most popular works in a contemporary vein, The Latin Suite, created by the Dominican choreographer Isadora Bruno, featuring music of Marc Anthony, Shakira, Ricky Martin, Willie Colón & Héctor Lavoe, and Juan Luis Guerra. According to Ballet Concierto Artistic Director Carlos Cabrera, “the energy and popularity of these songs throughout Latin America create a colorful context for the vibrant choreography of this work.”

WE LIVE WITHIN AN UNSTABLE LANDSCAPE
This is a social networking website connecting people concerned about innovation and experimentation on art, dance, embodiment, cognition, science, networks, post-humanism, media and the unstable landscape of contemporary culture and life.
We are in a transitional phase and refocusing the network with a broader interdisciplinary framework. It will reflect a contemporary community interacting and embedded unstablelandscape.
This network is maintained and administrated by Marlon Barrios Solano as an independent art/curatorial/social innovation project.
