Flabbergast

Choreography by Gustavo Ramírez Sansano
Music by Juan García Esquivel
Costumes conceived by Gustavo Ramírez Sansano
Lighting Design by Jared Moore

Latin lounge meets spontaneous combustion in this quirky yet joyful piece set to the music of Juan García Esquivel. Inspired by his experience of coming to America for the first time, choreographer Gustavo Ramírez Sansano exposes with humor our stereotypes and preconceived ideas about new and foreign places. Flabbergast is dedicated to the choreographer's mother, who taught him how to dance the bayón.

Created for Luna Negra Dance Theater in 2001; revised in May 2005.

New York Premiere: April 5, 2016 at The Joyce Theater
