Inside/Out With Wilfredo Rivera & American Catracho at Cerqua Rivera Dance Theatre

Cerqua Rivera Dance Theatre (CRDT) has leaped forward from its 25th Anniversary season with an undimmed commitment to its art and artists, including the return of the innovative Inside/Out series.

Chicago's own Cerqua Rivera Dance Theatre returns to Old Town School of Folk Music with their innovative Inside/Out series. This evening will unpack the second act of their landmark suite “American Catracho.” Inspired by company Co-Founder Wilfredo Rivera's own personal journey, this signature work exploring immigration and the immigrant experience moves through themes of dislocation, assimilation, renewal and hope. At Inside/Out, audiences will not only preview sections of the piece in advance of the Spring Concert Series, but will also be invited inside the creative process through improvisation, conversation and participatory activities.

The upcoming installment is Thursday, Feb. 20 at 7:30 p.m. at the Old Town School of Folk Music, 4545 N. Lincoln Ave. Tickets are $20-22 and may be purchased at CerquaRivera.org/schedule.
