Civilización y Barbarie by Silvio Astier
Following My Father’s Song by Jami Sieber
In our relentless pursuit of an “ideal” future, we often find ourselves constrained by society’s expectations, navigating a prescribed path that defines success. Yet, when we reach our breaking point, can we pause to reconnect with the unique experiences that have shaped us? Can we remember that we are human—capable of resilience, growth, and transformation? This piece invites everyone—choreographers, dancers, and audiences alike—to reflect: do we have the courage to rediscover our true selves, honor our past, and reshape our present to create a future we truly desire?
