DeNada Dance Theatre – Toro: Beauty and the Bull
WORLD PREMIERE
DeNada Dance Theatre presents Spanish choreographer Carlos Pons Guerra’s new, gender questioning, Hispanic take on the fairy tale Beauty and the Beast, boldly dealing with the eroticism of the story.
Set in a circus sideshow of a dystopian South America, in a heady world of conquistadors, female bulls, virgin lands and animals in drag, TORO is a darkly comic and the melodramatic tragedy about the monsters men create through power, fear and oppression.
