Work in Progress for "Monarca - Lost Butterfly (in Memoriam)"

This work in progress will provide the audience with a preview of the complete show titled Monarca - Lost Butterfly (in Memoriam). Dancer and choreographer Gabriel Martinez Rubio has developed his career between Mexico and the United States. His latest piece features a live contemporary dance performance with a projection of a pre-recorded video. The video uses imagery of the monarch butterfly to invite the audience to reflect on the lives that are lost as immigrants attempt to make the long and dangerous journey to a new beginning. The choreography uses testimonies from diverse members of the community as inspiration.

The complete piece will be shown this summer at the Truth and Reconciliation Showcase at the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center July 13th at 3pm.
