Audiences and critics raved about the premiere of this piece in June, 2014.
Due to a sell-out at the Sandbox Theater at Miami Theater Center, many were turned away on the last night of that run.
Now Miami dance audiences can all experience this powerful piece – selected by The Miami Herald as one of the season’s five best dance bets – in the larger, yet intimate, setting of the On.Stage Black Box.
SEE: Bare Bones Review
“Bare Bones opens up a world of unfiltered truths from the tangled-up stories of two bodies that leave traceable marks made of bones, flesh, tortures, and memories evoking dreamy scenarios. The work is concerned with the dominating disconnected behaviors amongst humans. A friendly glance into the eye or touch are becoming endangered senses for our specie as a feeling of transforming into moving machineries covered with flesh grows irreversibly.
“Bare Bones exposes human and geographic separations invading our societies. Tightly stacked-up defensive bodily walls armor us as man-made borderlines stretch us apart as strangers. The work contrasts poetic visuals with gruesome disfigurations empowering a message where human contact and love are at the verge of extinction, while fervently desired.
“Bare Bones draws a metaphoric labyrinth representing the reality of the present we cannot escape. A present of who we are and are made of, where tender human encounter has a slight chance.”
