Constanza Macras' OPEN FOR EVERYTHING Comes to BAM in October
Performances are October 5-8 at the Harvey Theater at the BAM Strong.
Berlin-based Argentinian choreographer Constanza Macras-who created the mesmerizing dance sequences for the 2018 film The Favourite-has often addressed contemporary social issues in her work. In the big-hearted spectacle Open for Everything, she turns her attention to one of the most misunderstood and mistreated groups in Europe-the Roma.
Based on extensive research she conducted in Hungary, the Czech Republic, and Slovakia, Macras' DorkyPark company-19 dancers and five musicians, including non-professional Romani performers-presents a kaleidoscopic view of contemporary Romani people, whose migrating traditions are challenged both by their own desire for a better life and outside pressure to conform. Mixing music, dance, and storytelling, Open for Everything's eclectic style is a perfect reflection of the diverse paths taken by Romani people in a borderless but still nationality-bound Europe.
**All performances will adhere to protocols developed in accordance with New York State regulations and in consultation with medical professionals for the safety of our artists, audiences, and staff. **
