Mutual Dance Theatre, Cincinnati's resident Modern Dance company, welcomes guest choreographers JUAN GABRIEL MARTINEZ RUBIO and GLENDA NIDAI DE ABREU FIGUEIREDO for the world premieres of "Rojo" and "Nightcap."
These original commissions are an important part of MDT’s commitment to representation, anchored in 22-23 by a full season honoring Latine voices, stories, and cultures.
The event takes place in MDT’s studio in Hartwell, where the Company has been premiering one-of-a-kind experimental dance theatre to tiny audiences in 360° formation.
The former MamLuft&Co. Dance member Gabriel Martinez says “Rojo” (meaning, red) is “related to love, emotion, and passion; warm and contradictory; dramatic and powerful.” Martinez has trained and performed in Mexico, Germany, North Carolina, Virginia, and of course, Ohio.
“Nightcap” by Glenda Figueiredo brings audiences into the sitting room of a woman experiencing her final night. The evening is marked by various nightcaps, with each libation accompanied by memories of a fading life. The Brazilian choreographer is a former aerialist and dancer of the Ringling Brothers.
