Acosta Danza
The upcoming UK tour of Acosta Danza’s ‘100% Cuban’ with Dance Consortium begins on February 9th at Sadler’s Wells in London.
Founded by international ballet superstar Carlos Acosta, the acclaimed Cuban dance company Acosta Danza has garnered an unrivaled reputation for creating works that combine both classical and contemporary genres, infused with Cuba’s rich musical and dance influences. The company returns to the UK with a program of new and existing exceptional works.
"100% Cuban" comprises five works — including three UK premieres from three exciting young Cuban choreographers – ‘Liberto’ by Raúl Reinoso, ‘Hybrid’ by Norge Cedeno Raffo and ‘De Punta a Cabo’ by Alexis Fernandez (Maca).
Also in the program are two big hits from the 2020 UK tour – ‘Paysage, soudain, la nuit’ by Sweden’s Pontus Lidberg and ‘Impronta’ by Spanish choreographer Maria Rovira.
About the upcoming tour, Carlos Acosta said: “I am thrilled that Acosta Danza is returning to the UK after such a difficult time for the industry. I look forward to sharing the 100% Cuban program with you, showcasing some of the finest Cuban dancers I have ever had the pleasure of working with.”
The UK tour of Acosta Danza concludes on March 5th at Theatre Royal Plymouth.
Dance Consortium is a UK-wide consortium of 18 large-scale theatres, whose mission is to take the best international contemporary dance to audiences across the UK.
While his Cuban company is out on the road for Dance Consortium, Carlos Acosta’s new production of Don Quixote for Birmingham Royal Ballet is touring to Southampton Mayflower (10 – 12 February), Birmingham Hippodrome (18 – 26 February), Salford Lowry (2 – 5 March), Sunderland Empire (10 – 12 March) and Plymouth Theatre Royal (16 – 19 March).
