FUNDarte and Miami-Dade County Auditorium in collaboration Aventura Arts and Cultural Center present Rayuela by Marco Flores on May 2nd & 3rd at 8:00 p.m. at Aventura Arts & Cultural Center as part of Out (Loud) in the Tropics Series.

Rayuela, meaning 'hopscotch' in Spanish is the newest creation of versatile artist, Marco Flores. Flores celebrates the first 20 years of his career in this piece that is a metaphor for his life where he is accompanied by renowned musicians, singer Alfredo Tejada and guitarist Jose Tomas Jimenez.

"In the beginning, it was the heartbeat: the primitive pulse of a life that became rhythm, compass: Marco. Then, wings were born on his feet, a thousand flowers in his soul. Misfortunes and laughter shaped his water skin and opened furrows to emotion and shouting, to mourning and celebration: because flamenco was that limitless place where his impulse - creative, vital - acquired its full meaning.

Now, it is time to recount what has been lived; to return to the origins, twenty years ago: not to start again; but, as an attentive and sincere traveler with the journey of what has been walked, to meet again with the essential truths of flamenco and relive them full of meaning: far from the museum, in the emotion of its kaleidoscopic pulse, of its elusive dance, of the clean heart of an artist of the twenty-first century: Marco Flores."

Dance NOW! Miami presents Program III Featuring Terra Mia/My Land

Dance NOW! culminates its 25th Anniversary Season with Program III featuring the world premiere of Terra Mia I My Land for both Broward and Miami audiences in a two-night run. Terra Mia I My Land showcases Italian heritage and history, filtered through the personal memories of company Director Diego Salterini. The ballet will highlight the dichotomy and intensity of the country, from the fashion of Milan to the bustle of the streets of Naples to the emerald shores of Sicily. "Italy is so much more than many people imagine," added Salterini. The piece includes an original score by Federico Bonacossa, also an Italian native and long-time collaborator with Dance NOW! on pieces such as "Anusim, what is hidden is never lost.

The evening will also include several celebrated works from Dance Now's repertory, among them the powerful and relevant finale from Bridges NOT Walls, their critically acclaimed work about immigration, borders and refugees, as well as Co-Director Baumgarten's Machiavellian tribal Court Dance, and other works."At no time has it been easy to sustain a contemporary dance company like ours, and especially today, with the challenges to funding and content, it's even more amazing to me that Dance NOW! Miami is thriving at twenty-five years old," said Baumgarten. "For us, art is a necessity, and we will never stop dancing!"
