In PURO DESEO, choreographer luciana achugar returns to the tradition of the proscenium stage. Embracing the darkness of the cavernous black box and its inherent magic and mystery, achugar draws inspiration from paranormal phenomena, the occult, and representations of monstrosity in Gothic film and literature. Through a visceral and intuitive experience of sound, movement, and the exaggerated presence of light, long-time collaborator Michael Mahalchick and achugar build their performance as an incantation.
