“The Archives in Motion” Presentation of LAYERS: A Dance Film

Join CENTRO on October 17^th as we celebrate the breadth and depth of our archives with a special screening of Layers: A Dance Film by filmmaker and dancer César Abreu, CENTRO Artist in Residence. Abreu uses the vibrant legacy of Puerto Rican artists reflected in our archival collections to influence this cinematic exploration of dance to express the personal resilience and triumph of individuals traveling their paths within marginalized communities.  Following the screening, you will have the opportunity to hear a live performance of the film composer Angélica Negrón’s music, Ruta Panorámica for Cello, Bandoneón, and Electronics, and learn about the film’s creative process from a panel featuring Abreu, Negrón, and visual artist Roxane Revon. Come and witness yet another innovative presentation of our archives in motion.
