Ballet Hispanico return to the Joyce Theater from April 14th - 26th, 2015 with 15 performances featuring five dynamic programs. Tickets start at $10 and are on sale here.
Under the artistic direction of Eduardo Vilaro, Ballet Hispanico's style combines the fire and passion of their Latino roots with elements of contemporary ballet.
Highlights of this year’s Joyce season include a raw and athletic world premiere by Mexico-based choreographer Miguel Mancillas and the dazzling New York premiere of Show.Girl. by Miami-based, Princess Grace Award-winning choreographer Rosie Herrera. Also in the Joyce repertory are Ballet Hispanico's striking production of Gustavo Ramírez Sansano’s CARMEN.maquia, a contemporary look at the iconic story of a passionate gypsy woman; the marvelous all-male Sombrerísimo, choreographed by Annabelle Lopez Ochoa and commissioned by New York City Center for the 10thanniversary of the Fall for Dance Festival; and El Beso, choreographed by Gustavo Ramírez Sansano, with original costumes by Venezuelan fashion designer Angel Sanchez.
For the first time during its New York Season, Ballet Hispanico will also offer a 90-minute matinee on Saturday, April 18th that is specially curated for children and families featuring excerpts from the Company's diverse repertory and a Q & A with the dancers. Hosted by Artistic Director Eduardo Vilaro and Education Director AnaMaria Correa, Ballet Hispanico’s fun, interactive, and educational Performances for Young People - now celebrating 30 years - give families a glimpse into the beauty of the arts and Latino culture.
