Afro conTempo Dance Theater presents Alma en Boca The Afro-Peruvian Story. The birth and transformation of the traditional Afro-Peruvian culture is ironically interpreted through the fusion of Contemporary Dance and Afro-Peruvian folklore. Alma en Boca an elaborated tale of re-invention, social structure, and cultural expression voices out through the rhythms of the Cajon, live singers, and a cast of 20 performers.
Over the decades the African culture in Peru went through a series of phases ranging from the establishment of traditions to almost extinction. Today Afro-Peruvian dance is the pride of Peruvian folklore, but the journey to establish this title embodies rise and falls that are still unclear to the Peruvian society.
Alma en Boca moves its way through Afro-Peruvian history, a tale that has yet been expressed through contemporary dance.
“This project has been in the works for a year but has taken five years to research,” says Marcela Diaz, Artistic Director and Choreographer of the show, “I support the notion that a culture can be expressed through any well researched artistic approach even if the culture heavily relies on tradition. What better way to share information about a culture than to bring alive its history.”
Alma en Boca La Historia del Afro-Peruano premieres Fall 2011.
