About the Artist and his work:
Mexican dancer and choreographer Antonio Salinas will perform his work "Toneladas de Luz" (Tons of Light) one night only as a guest artist of NPN's Performing Americas Program. Antonio Salinas is one of the most prestigious young soloists of Mexico, conceiving of drama and movement inseparably. His beautifully crafted solo is a furious portrait of heartbreak and self examination, utilizing voice and movement, as he sings along with an MP3 and recounts the curious story of a labrador that disappears in an internet cafe. With music from the English group Placebo to the very Mexican Chavela Vargas, and passing through Wagner, he makes us feel the confusion and the torrent of conflicting emotions that anyone is bound to experience in the breakup of a relationship. Since its opening in Venezuela during the XII International Festival of Western Theater in 2005, this piece has continued to be presented in the most prominent stages of Mexico and Latin America.
"Antonio Salinas is a dedicated professional and the master of a personal universe where anything is possible..."
- Revista Proceso
