The Auditorium Theatre presents
CHICAGO DEBUT
Compañía Nacional de Danza
Saturday, February 10 * 7:30PM
The Madrid-based ‘National Dance Company’ performs varied and representative repertoires, recognizable inside and outside Spain, covering classical, neoclassical, and contemporary dance.
Compañía Nacional de Danza is led by Artistic Director Joaquín De Luz, a past soloist with American Ballet Theatre and principal dancer with New York City Ballet. The company will perform Passengers Within (2022), a new work by De Luz to music by Philip Glass and inspired by today’s society and our slavery to the system of modern technology. The mixed rep program also includes Sad Case (1998, Sol León and Paul Lightfoot) showcasing the surprising and earthy movements of the mambo; and White Darkness (2001) by acclaimed Spanish Choreographer Nacho Duato, current Artistic Director for the Mikhailovsky Ballet in Saint Petersburg.
