NOMADA

Co-presented by Canadian Stage and DanceWorks

Created by Diana Lopez Soto


NOMADA blends aerial dance, installation art, and contemporary Mexican indigenous dance. Inspired by personal stories of displacement, dances and stories from the P’urepecha and Otomi nations of Michoacan, and the relationship between our bodies and the earth, NOMADA is a visually stunning and visceral experience.

Looking for some bonus programming to go with your ticket to NOMADA? We've got you covered! You're invited to attend:

  • Friday, April 19th post-show talkback at the Berkeley Street Theatre with Diana Lopez Soto. A tactile exposition related to the pottery and textiles from the show will also be on display in the lobby area.

Uarhi Creations is a centre for multi and inter-arts research, a generator of experiences, performances and offerings and an incubator of collective eco-initiatives. Uarhi Creations also serves as a conduit for sharing movement practices and alternative learning experiences. We integrate, support, and foster self-directed inquiries in sustainable practices through ritual, process-based work, and site-specificity. Artistic Director, Diana Lopez Soto, is committed to cultivating human and land relationships. She celebrates the reciprocity and restoration of our deep inherited connections to Mother Earth to reclaim ancestral wisdom.
