Danza Clásica

full of bold, astute, unexpected choices,

Igor Stravinsky’s “The Rite of Spring,” whose lyricism and audacity could be turned into treacle and bombast in the wrong hands. Instead, we and the dancers are treated like adults, and are shown not something pornographic, but something metaphoric, and honest.

Sansano winds up borrowing an old tale for a new and lively celebration of art itself.

This is one of those pieces that you will want to see over and over again.

The audience, half-shvitzing from the room temperature, also seemed half-stunned by how stimulating, immediate and excellent the experience.

The work had a dramatic feel along with the quality of a pure movement piece; not an easy combination

Ramírez Sansano’s social interpretation with Juan Garcia Esquivel’s high-spirited music created an original animated, charismatic fanfare.

Mr. Sansano has crafted a movement vocabulary that is quick, illustrative, explosive, and efficient. Rather than something stiff and staccato, we are rewarded with a ballet that simulates reality while reveling in its foibles. Most importantly, the dancers are allowed to move with verve.»

opera

Gustavo Ramírez Sansano’s choreography added narrative heft to the production. The singers don’t just stand and sing (“park and bark” in opera parlance); rather, they move constantly, giving the performance a sweeping feel.

Gustavo Ramírez Sansano’s “endless well of movement invention and his creative expansion of pantomimic gesture into abstract movement, along with Hubbard Street’s flawlessly bouyant execution, left me positively giddy with excitement,”

Sansano uses dialogue, set and costumes as well as choreography to make his elegant point

simply unforgettable.

The movement is non-stop, the energy level intense, and Sansano shows an ability to move small armies of dancers across the stage quickly and uniformly.

Gustavo Ramirez’ El Beso, the most celebrated performance of the night, humorously and perspicaciously explores some of the mix-ups, situations and pleasurable moments involved in the simple act of kissing.

Brilliantly knowledgeable by the comedian sensibility of Gustavo Ramirez Sansano,

Sansano’s choreography is brilliant

I believe it’s the most sophisticated male pas de adieux I’ve ever seen

Just when I thought the Rite couldn’t produce any more surprises, there is this: a glorious springtime celebration of the right to sexual freedom.

You could literally see the music happening in the dancers’ bodies and in the trajectories of their paths across the stage. Tchaikovsky wouldn’t have known what to make of this wild abandonment to raw movement, but my guess is Mr. B would have been proud.

the piece’s vocabulary, its intricate hand movements, vogue-like undulations, and body slaps are certainly engaging and unexpected

Sansano’s «Consagracion» offered a bold, inventive look inspired by a now classic ballet work.

It was restless and a bit difficult, that feeling exacerbated by the still-jarring music, which Sansano dissects and interprets with aplomb, finding its sense of yearning.

The audience could hardly wait to give Hubbard Street Dance Chicago a standing ovation.
