In Confianza four performers investigate how to listen deeply and open a door to transformation. They ask when trust is a burden and when it is a gift, when well-grounded and when elusive, if it’s possible to love powerfully without compromising one’s own center. Confianza, which means trust in Spanish, highlights tango’s main legacy: the radical lead-follow interdependency and expands it beyond embrace. The show explores the fragile balance of trust and distrust negotiated in ambivalent relationships and the impact of trust as a source of meaning and growth. 

Confianza premiered at La MaMa Moves! Dance Festival in 2022, NYC. Presented by La MaMa
