Urdimbre y Trama/Warp and Weft
Urdimbre y Trama (Warp and Weft) is a dialogue from and with the margin. We dance with what is hidden, silenced, and invisible as mestizas.
Urdimbre y Trama (Warp and Weft) is a dialogue from and with the margin. It is a walk through the grounds of iconic old house in Little Havana, and an intimate portrait of seemingly disparate but intrinsically tied stories through movement, text and song. The work includes original musical scoundscapes by composer Jose Luis de la Paz. In them, he combines the voices of a variety of women, with sounds, words and instrumentation that leads the audience on a journey through the stories that make up the lives of real women in the community of Little Havana. The work is part immersive theater, part site-specific dance theater, part installation and part ritual. It draws from both the history of the Koubek Center and its importance to various immigrant groups over the past 70 years and brings it face to face with the artistic expression and art-making practices of eight different artists under the direction of Marquez and accompanied by the visual support of artist Dinorah de Jesus Rodriguez.
