Belén Maya: Romnia
Belén Maya will be performing Romnia at 92Y’s Buttenwieser Hall as part of Dig Dance: Weekend Series.
Belén Maya has pursued her career out of the continuous need to explore and study music, theatre, narration, performance, drama and language. Her concept of flamenco feeds on the mixture of literature, yoga, meditation, organic culture, Eastern mysticism and the harmony between her body, mind and spirit.
Romnia explores the two dimensions of Maya’s life: her Gypsy ancestry and her femininity. Romnia, “women”, in Romany, is a celebration of Gypsyness –a compassionate, sometimes joyful look at the plight of displaced women, whose laughter and mourning are transformed to beauty in motion.
