A shifting terrain of myth, memory, and reflection, MUJERES, PARA.MAR Dance Theatre’s first-ever full-length ballet, invites audiences to encounter the many selves of Chilean poet and Nobel Laureate Gabriela Mistral through her Locas Mujeres poems. Choreographed by PARA.MAR founder and director Stephanie Martinez, this most ambitious work unfolds as a ritual of endurance, fragmentation, and return. Contributions to the Community Access Tickets to MUJERES campaign will support 200 subsidized tickets, advancing PARA.MAR’s core commitment to access, artistic excellence, diverse representation, and community.

COVID hit Chicago's performing arts industry hard. Dancers, choreographers and set designers were suddenly out of work; and communities were suddenly out of opportunities to enjoy live shows. Morning Insider Lauren Victory takes us inside a company that began tackling both problems in the middle of COVID chaos. The goal now: bring art back to - and straight to - an audience.
