Créssida Danza Contemporánea

Europe and North America / / New York City
Little Theater at LaGuardia Performing Arts Center

Créssida Contemporary Dance makes their New York debut with the world premiere of Naj (House), created by the troupe’s Artistic Director Lourdes Luna in close collaboration with Mexican-American composer Carlo Nicolau. The piece is inspired by Mayan poet Briseida Cuevas Cob’s “A yáax tuupl” (The First Earring) and offers a contemporary focus of Mayan worldview. Créssida will also perform La primera piedra (The Foundation Stone), created by Roberto Olivan and directed by Lourdes Luna. This work approaches the current Mexican character and personal themes that pierce through borders. This performance is part of LaGuardia Performing Arts Center’s 2019-2020 Season. Music and choreography for Naj are co-commissioned, co-produced and co-presented by Celebrate Mexico Now Festival and LaGuardia Community College.
