Arte y Pasión presents MERCURIA on November 3 at Brick at Blue Star. MERCURIA is an anthem to the impossible choices women must make in pursuit of their own agency. The project is a series of vignettes in an exploration in poetry, music and movement with special guest artist Maestra Belen Maya, with Tamara Adira, Genevieve Obregon, La Memphi, Jose Manuel Tejeda, and Poet Laureate Andrea Vocab Sanderson. The project is under the direction of TAMARA ADIRA under the mentorship of BELEN MAYA.
Women worldwide are faced with impossible choices in their pursuit of own personal agency. These productions are presented for empowerment of the individual, both women and men, in understanding and supporting women’s rights and issues. We must make compassionate choices to survive and thrive as a race. By elevating women, we elevate all of humanity.
As the daughter of the legendary Mario Maya, who single-handedly revolutionized flamenco through his choreography and large-format company, Belén Maya was born into greatness. However, she has managed to build a stellar reputation that’s based more on her own work and personal style than on her family name. Belén is tremendously prolific, with work oscillating between the traditional and the contemporary, and she regularly tours the world performing and teaching.
Arte y Pasión, led by Tamara Adira, is a company known for pushing the boundaries of flamenco and Spanish dance, and one of the most contemporary flamenco companies in the United States, whose mission is to share, promote and develop the authentic art of flamenco as a vehicle of healing and restoration, and the promotion of human rights and equality. While the company is comprised of flamenco dance, guitar and flamenco singing, Arte y Pasión is known for having weaved into its artistic vocabulary disciplines such as modern dance, spoken word, fine and performance art to tell a story more fully. The company engages regularly with acclaimed flamenco artists from Spain, France and around the world, via mentorship and co-performance, exploring artistic evolution and specific subject matter to elevate the purity of flamenco to an electrifying theatrical event.
