¿LISTEN? includes a world premiere work by Polaris Dance Theatre’s newly launched sister company, ELa FaLa Collective, directed by Brazilian choreographer and dancer, @Barbara Lima.
The piece is a solo work choreographed and danced by Barbara while she was back in Brazil awaiting her visa renewal. Brazil is dealing with a similar political climate as the US and this work expresses her frustrations, deep sadness, and power as a woman fighting to survive during this tumultuous time.
