Miami, FL –Miami Light Project and MDC Live Arts proudly
present renowned choreographer Nora Chipaumire on Friday and Saturday,
Jan. 24 – 25, at the Light Box at Goldman Warehouse in the Wynwood Art
District.
Chipaumire’s performance, Miriam, is a stunning dance
tribute to the life of South African singer and freedom fighter Miriam Makeba.
Miriam is conceived, written and choreographed by Chipaumire
and directed by Eric Ting.
Chipaumire creates her first character-driven work –
a deeply personal dance-theatre performance that looks closely at the internal
battles women face between public expectations and private desires, between
selflessness and ambition and between the perfection and sacrifice of the
feminine ideal.
With an original score by six-time Grammy nominee Cuban
composer and pianist Omar Sosa, Miriam layers text, sound and images that
enrich the mysterious and haunting world of Chipaumire’s creation.
