A New Work from ENRICO LABAYEN: CARMINA BURANA: Revisited

Labayen's work is not the touch and go celebration of moment favored by choreographers but an espousal of commitment. His work is gutsy, earthy and emotionally hungry. It's wonderful to see someone going so bravely against the pull of the times. -SF Focus

Labayen Dance/SF, one of the Bay Area's most exciting and innovative contemporary dance companies, presents the world premiere of "CARMINA BURANA: Revisited" from Enrico Labayen, Isadora Duncan Awardee (The Izzies) for Outstanding Achievement in Choreography. Loosely inspired by the Philippine matriarchal ritual of "tadtarin" (Tagalog,lit. minced, chopped up) and set to Carl Orff's iconic score Carmina Burana, this piece explores female identities, ritual, traditions, role reversals and relationships through a contemporary lens.
