It's billed as an "investigation into the themes of devotion, ritual and myth," and it's coming to the stage at the Shadbolt Centre for the Arts.
The Shadbolt Centre is kicking off its 2014/15 Sole Series with the first dance performance of the season: Camino Al Tepeyac.
The performance has been created by Salomé Nieto, who ventures into the magic realism of her own Mexican culture.
A press release notes that she uses religious iconography, beliefs and traditions as inspiration for the work, with Camino Al Tepeyac becoming a metaphor for the convergence of two religious beliefs in one female deity. The Mexicans called her Tonantzin - and, after the conquest, her name became the Virgin of Guadalupe, and the mother of the Mexican people in the Catholic faith.
"I am excited and honoured to present my first full-length solo, Camino Al Tepeyac," Nieto said in a press release.
The production is onstage Nov. 19 to 22, with shows nightly at 8 p.m.
Tickets range from $15 to $35. Call 604-205-3000 or see tickets.shadboltcentre.com to buy.
