This program showcases two ensembles that, by fusing international art forms with Mexican influences, exemplify our Southern neighbor’s vibrant contemporary performing arts scene.

Guadalajara-based Pájaro de Nube explores the experimental language of music and dance, capturing the surreal by juxtaposing the measured movements of Japanese Butoh with live soundscapes.

Mexico City’s Brujerias de Papel brings Italian-style wooden puppets to life through the telling of sophisticated stories, creating an atmosphere of Magical Realism inspired by Latin American culture.
