Luna Negra Dance
September 24-25, 7:30 p.m.
Knickerbocker Theatre

In ten years, Luna Negra Dance Theater has established itself as a significant and vital component of Chicago’s arts and cultural community. Since Eduardo Vilaro founded Luna Negra in 1999, the Company has served as a springboard for Latino contemporary choreographers to give expression to their stories and bring new life to the cultures of their communities. Steering away from stereotypes and folkloric representations, Luna Negra brings to audiences modern Latino expressions with energy, power, and passion, reflecting through dance the immense cultural shift that is shaping America in the 21st century.

“Artistic director Eduardo Vilaro and his beguiling dancers are an established, respected and treasured troupe on our arts landscape” Chicago Tribune

“This is a company that moves with sensational energy and panache.”
Chicago Sun-Times
