Malpaso Dance Company

A Joyce Theater Production
Tue Feb 10 - Sun Feb 15

The Havana-based Malpaso Dance Company takes the stage for its eleventh engagement at The Joyce, delivering a dynamic program that embodies the pulse of contemporary Cuban dance. Since its founding in 2012 by Daile Carrazana, Osnel Delgado, and Fernando Sáez, Malpaso has become a powerhouse of bold innovation, pairing exquisite technique with an unyielding commitment to fostering new voices in contemporary dance and Cuban choreography. 

This season’s program includes Dark Meadow Suite, presented in celebration of the GRAHAM100 project, marking a historic milestone as Malpaso becomes the first Cuban dance company to stage a work by Martha Graham. The program also features The Season, a new work by co-founder Daile Carrazana, alongside a commission by A.I.M by Kyle Abraham alumna Keerati Jinakunwiphat.

Live music plays a central role throughout the engagement. Dark Meadow Suite and The Season are accompanied by the Alma String Quartet—an all–Cuban women ensemble—while Jinakunwiphat’s work is performed with live music by trumpeter Adam O’Farrill and his Stranger Days quartet, adding an electrifying, improvisational dimension to the evening.
