dance Immersion Double-Bill Presentation

dance Immersion presents CinnaMoon Collective’s “Surrendered Spirits” on a double-bill with Pulga Muchochoma’s “MÀSCARA”. Both works investigate aspects of ancestral legacy, displacement, and the impacts of coming of age through immigrant experiences. “Surrendered Spirits” encompasses the relationship of two femme, queer black and brown women who face each other seeking to heal inherited ancestral and familial wounds. They find support in their sisterhood and the power of collective care. “MÀSCARA” examines the masks we wear: We all have more than one face… From their perspective, others may see one image at first glance, but there is always more to learn about the person behind the mask. This premiere contemporary dance event features performances by Nickeshia Garrick, Irma Villafuerte, Viktor Kei, Pulga Muchochoma, and Kobèna Aquaa-Harrison. “Surrendered Spirits” is a co-commission by curatorial and producing partners dance Immersion and Kaeja d’Dance. “MÀSCARA” is a dance Immersion commission.
