Mesa Arts Center is honored to host Live from Lincoln Center’s filming of Ballet Hispanico as part of an international movie release. This is the first performance outside of their NYC season in the evening-length “masterpiece” (Chicago Sun-Times): CARMEN maquia by Gustavo Ramirez Sansano, a Picasso-inspired contemporary take on Bizet’s beloved classic. Under artistic Director Eduardo Vilaro, Ballet Hispanico melds it’s Latino roots with an eclectic, sleeky modern style that has made it one “of the best contemporary ensembles” (The New York Times). Ballet Hispanico’s diverse program promises to “whisk us away to contemporary dance’s hottest spot” (The Washington Post).
