Terra Papagalli

DanceworksMKE joins forces with Early Music Now and Aperi Animam, under the music direction of guest Brazilian Conductor Sergio Dias, for a collaboration unlike any other.

TERRA PAPAGALLI features rarely heard and, in many cases, never-before-performed Baroque music from colonial Brazil, bringing vibrant, long-silent music to life through an evening of world premiere dance works. This full-length concert features original choreography by Artistic Director Christal Wagner alongside DanceworksMKE’s four Artistic Coordinators: Katelyn Altmann, Cuauhtli Ramírez Castro, Ashley Ray Garcia, and Zoe Mei Glise. Together, these artists respond to Brazil’s Baroque soundscape with bold, contemporary movement taking an avian inspired approach to the musical repertoire.
