Memphis in May always brings exciting performers from the honored country. Look what we brought in for the 2009 Salute to Chile!

CELEBRATE CHILE!

An evening celebrating the sights and sounds of Chile featuring the folkloric rhythms of Ballet Folklórico Antumapu from the Universidad de Chile in Santiago was presented at The Rose Theatre at The University of Memphis. The evening included the national dance of Chile – La Cueca.  The audience also experienced Metahue by Marcelo Peña – the unique sounds of the Mapuche people came to life on stage with Peña’s authentic percussion.

The complicated contrasts between the two worlds unfold as the boy befriends his well-to-do classmates – all in the background of a politically turbulent 1973 Chile.  In Spanish with English subtitles.
