 acrifice enacted before the audience’s eyes.\n \nConceived and dire
 cted by Argentinean choreographer Anabella Lenzu, “Sangre y Arena”
  (Blood and Sand) is a visceral piece of dance-theater that reconnects
  with the primal impulses that underlie ritual, juxtaposing intellect 
 and instinct. In this interdisciplinary, multimedia production with pr
 ojections, paints, water, and masks, Lenzu rediscovers ceremony and he
 ritage.\n In our fast-paced society, where technological “connected
 ness” too often replaces real interpersonal connection, “Sangre y 
 Arena” calls for a return to ritual. In a move away from the purely 
 spectacular and presentational side of dance, Lenzu reconnects choreog
 raphically with the primal impulses of art and creation.\nThe sacrific
 e of the bull is the central image in the ancient cult of Roman Mithra
 ism. The dramatic iconography of Mithraism—the God Mithras is born f
 rom a rock, feasts with the Sun and commands the constellations—prov
 ides the inspiration for a new movement vocabulary. By reenacting role
 s in ancient animal-human combat and rites of passage, “Sangre y Are
 na” explores the tensions between primitive nature and human sophist
 ication. The performers slide between the artistic disciplines of pain
 ting, speaking and dancing, while projections show images from the und
 erground temples to Mithras. A dialogue between the design of the move
 ment in the space and the images created on the canvas plays out in fr
 ont of the audience offering both kinesthetic and visual stimulation.\
 nThe sacrificial bull at the center of the Roman Mithraism parallels t
 he sacrifice of the performer. As the ephemeral movement fades, the im
 ages created during the performance are a lasting reminder of the conv
 ersation and contest that unfolded. In our fast-paced society, where t
 echnological “connectedness” too often replaces real interpersonal
  connection, “Sangre y Arena” calls for a return to ritual. In a m
 ove away from the purely spectacular and presentational side of dance,
  Lenzu reconnects choreographically with the primal impulses of art an
 d creation.\n \nChoreography: Anabella Lenzu\nMusic: Geoff Gersh\nVoc
