Edison Theatre
Our 8th MFA Dance Concert, ¿Te puedo contar algo?, showcases original dance works crafted by our MFA candidates, Tess Angelica Losada Miner and Lourdes del Mar Santiago Lebrón. With exclusively female ensembles, these choreographers will use dance to illuminate various facets of the diasporic experience. Losada Miner delves into themes of exile, lamentation, and longing, pondering what it is to mourn for a lost homeland. Meanwhile, Santiago Lebron dissects notions of abundance and scarcity through a sequence of interlinked vignettes. Join us for an unforgettable evening of dance.
