Malpaso (Cuba)

Malpaso Dance Company is bringing the heat of Cuba to close the summer dance festival with a performance that will feature choreography that will honor the roots of modern dance as well as new head-turning choreographers of today. Since its establishment in 2012, Malpaso has already become one of the most sought after Cuban dance companies with a growing international profile. The company will perform and evening of three works including, Face the Torrent, a new work by NYC-based choreographer Sonya Tayeh which was created in part during the Company’s 2017 residency in Cleveland.

While in northeast Ohio, the company will participate in our Body of Work: Dialogues on Dance Series with a lecture and performance of “Fielding Sixes”, a work by Merce Cunningham-with music by John Cage- as part of the international ‘Merce Cunningham Centennial Celebration’. As ‘one of the great iconoclasts in 20th-centure art” (NY Times) who would have turned 100 in 2019, DANCECleveland is pleased to be joining in the international celebration with these showings. Subscribers to DANCECleveland’s 2019-2020 season will have the first opportunity to attend these up close events.

DANCECleveland has previously presented Malspaso Dance Company in 2016 & 2017.
