Mutual Dance Theatre continues its second year of MODERN MIX, a new annual tradition of showcasing daring collections of work by a mix of choreographers.
In line with MDT’s commitment to representation, this MODERN MIX, along with the rest of the 22-23 season, is dedicated to Latine voices, stories, and cultures. This performance will feature restagings of Climb by Elena Rodriguez Moore and "Petrichor" by Steven P. Evans.
Climb is based on the choreographer's experiences growing up as the bi-racial daughter of a Colombian immigrant. The work features dare devil work with ladders, symbolizing the arduous work to rebuild oneself in a new culture.
"Petrichor" was inspired by border conflicts and based on the meaning of the term, which is the distinctive, earthy, usually pleasant smell after rainfall, particularly following a dry, arid period. In "Petrichor," rain is coming.
