Alma Llanera-Spirit of the Plains is a two hour dance work based on Rudolfo Anaya's novel, Bless Me Ultima. It is about a young boy's rite of passage into manhood, the straddling of two cultures and the importance of the values that span across our cultural divide. Blending thevocabulary of traditional Mexican folk dance, indigenous African-influenced and contemporary movement expressions, choreographer Gema Sandoval and her company Danza Floricanto/USA bring to the stage a vibrant dance rendition of a boy's coming of age story. There will be three performances: Friday May 7, 2010, at 8:00 pm; Saturday May 8, 2010, at 8:00 p.m.; and Sunday May 9,2010, at 5:00 p.m. Tickets are $15 and are available for purchase online. |
