return//de vuelta a los ancestros
On September 20-21, 2024 at 7:30pm at the Schwartz Center for Performing Arts, the Emory Dance Program will present “return//de vuelta a los ancestros”, a faculty concert curated by Julio Medina. The concert will feature three new dance works by Medina Movement Collective, alongside works by local and international guest artists.
Several works throughout the evening will feature Aztec dance, Folklórico, and contemporary dance inspired by various sigils from the Mexica (Me-shee-cah) or Aztec sun stone. The concert follows Medina's journey of reclamation of indigenous identity and reshaping his Mexican heritage. This evening of dances is a ritual of offerings to Mother Earth and reclaiming power in rebirth.
