Patchogue Arts Council Museum of Contemporary Art L.I presents: Mayan Magic with Dzul Dance
*The event has already taken place on this date: Sun, 09/18/2022
Patchogue Arts Council Museum of Contemporary Art L.I in partnership with the Patchogue Theatre for the Performing Arts is proud to present the world premiere of Mayan Magic with DZUL Dance. Serving as a visual memoir, the repertoire introduces the real-life experiences Javier encountered whilst assimilating to modernized society. The reflection of these experiences in the work highlights the inherent trials and tribulations of being faced with a new, colonization induced world that creates a challenging dichotomy of two very opposing concepts of life and culture. The work also serves as a pathway by which to acknowledge how Mayan heritage helped shape Javier’s understanding of life, art, magic, tradition, honor, relationships, love and his position in the universe.

Dzul Dance’s repertoire is designed as an autobiographical, physical narrative that explores pre-Hispanic Mexican and Mayan culture through the eyes of Artistic Director, Javier Dzul - one of the few contemporary Mayan choreographers in the world. Utilizing elements of dance, physical theatre, contortion and various circus apparatuses, Dzul Dance manipulates space vertically, horizontally and everywhere in between in an attempt to carve out the stories of one of history’s most revered and mysterious indigenous civilizations.
