Freefall
Homage
May 6-8, 2005
Friday and Saturday at 8pm
Sunday at 7pm
Admission $12; $10 students/seniors/artists
Grand themes of love, war, and justice are
explored by NYC-based dance company Freefall, whose work seeks physical
metaphors of emotional complexity. A motivational speech by General
Patton is twisted to irreverently address male bravado and inspirational
rhetoric; the dance groove is straight from the Marx Brothers, the
attitude is all irony. Elsewhere, a dance starts with Ravel’s
Bolero and ends up as a Weimer Republic love story, complete with
high heels, cigarettes and kazoos. Freefall have previously performed
at The Movable Beast Festival in Chicago. www.freefallltd.org

Eduardo Vilaro
The El in Ella
May 27 and 28, 2005
Friday and Saturday at 8pm
Admission $10
Dancer/choreographer Eduardo Vilaro’s new
solo performance unearths layers of gay Latino identity and the
art of walking in heels. The El in Ella is an exploration of race,
identity and culture, which was supported in part by a Chicago Dancemakers
Forum award. Born in Cuba, Vilaro trained and performed in New York
City before relocating to Chicago. In 1999, Vilaro founded the Luna
Negra Dance Theater, since which time he has received many awards
for his choreography, including the Cuban Artist’s Fund, and
the Ruth Page Foundation.
