Tour to 2022 Festival Internacional de Danza Contemporánea
August 4, 2022 | 8:30pm
Teatro de la Ciudad de Esperanza Iris | Mexico City
Stephen Petronio Company is proud to announce our first international touring engagement since the covid-19 lockdown. On August 4, SPC will perform Stephen Petronio’s New New Prayer For Now (2022) at Teatro de la Ciudad de Esperanza Iris in Mexico City as part of the 2022 Festival Internacional de Danza Contemporánea.
New New Prayer For Now (2022)
Initially conceived as a moving meditation filmed during the Covid-19 lockdown, New New Prayer For Now bursts onto the stage as a call for connection and hope. A bold and visceral dialogue between bodies, space and the viewer’s eye, this work is a collaboration with composer/performance artist Monstah Black, creating music based on the treasured songs ‘Balm in Gilead’ and ‘Bridge Over Troubled Water’ recorded with The Young People’s Chorus of New York City (YPC), under the direction of Francisco Nuñez.
