Carlos Acosta - On Before presented by Sarasota Cuban Ballet School

Description

“On Before is one of the most important shows I have ever created and danced and I am delighted to be bringing it to Sarasota.” Carlos Acosta

An homage to his late mother, On Before embodies Carlos’ astonishing dance vision and features collaborations with major UK and international dance makers, Russell Maliphant, Kim Brandstrup, Will Tuckett, Raul Reinoso, Yury Yanowsky, Miguel Altunaga as well as Carlos’ own choreography.

In a framework created by Carlos, On Before tells the story of a doomed relationship between a man and a woman, set to a diverse musical repertoire ranging from Handel to Cuban contemporary composer Omar Puente and culminating in a moving finale featuring a live local choir performing Morten Lauridsen’s O Magnum Mysterium.

Originally conceived in 2010, Carlos is revisiting this extraordinary show and touring it to the United States for the very first time, where he has not performed since 2018. For 2024 Carlos Acosta will dance alongside Laura Rodriguez, an original member of his own company, Acosta Danza, which he founded in Cuba in 2015.
