Friday, November 21, 7pm and 8pm
FREE TO LOVE: "SILENCIO"—This theatrical dance event by Danilo de la Torre and David Rohn, presented by Miami's new performance group, HOMO SAPIENS, celebrates the triumph of love and the human spirit over institutional constraints imposed by the military, politics, and religion. A hypothetical U.S. Detention Center is the setting for exploring a complex, cross-cultural "love that dare not speak its name."
