The National Dance Company Foundation (FCND) invites the contemporary cast to Season 2024, whose dancers will perform the program “The Body We Are”, which has been designed and composed of three choreographies that explore elements of everyday life in our America.

The FCND program will be staged at the Rio Teatro Caribe, located in San Bernardino, this Friday, June 21 at 7:00 p.m., as well as Saturday, June 22 and Sunday, June 23 at 6:00 p.m.

The pieces Intangible Mobile, by the Ecuadorian choreographer Tania Falconi; Liza, by the Venezuelan Anaísa Castillo and La Latinotendencia, by also Venezuelan Armando Díaz, will enrich the Company's contemporary repertoire composed of the cast of dancers who stand out for their quality and versatility.

Through the popular imagination, the three choreographers denounce and reflect on the daily violence to which Latin American peoples are subjected.

Anaísa Castillo exposes in Liza one of the most striking, clandestine and contradictory cultural traditions: cockfighting, a sign of the social violence of which we are part. In her work Intangible Mobile, Ecuadorian Tania Falconi presents a choreographic landscape that explores the limits between closeness and distance. Gestures and bodies framed in the space that coexist between the everyday and the extraordinary. For his part, Armando Díaz in La Latinotendencia uses satire through musical rhythms and Latin American couple dances, with established gender roles in society and makes visible the abuse of women.
