Amor Brujo with the Kansas City Ballet. (TRAILER) Choreography by Irene Rodriguez

Trailer of the piece “AMOR BRUJO” (Love Bewitched) in I Act.
Choreography, Adaptation of the original Libretto and Music selection by Irene Rodríguez for the Kansas City Ballet.
Commissioned by New Dance Partner and the Midwest Trust Center at Johnson County Community College, Overland Park, Kansas City.
WORLD PREMIERE September 17-18, 2021 at the Yardley Hall.
“This creation has been especially exciting for me, as it is the first ballet company in the United States for which I have choreographed a work of this magnitude, and for which I have also been the architect of the adaptation of the original libretto and the musical selection. This will also be the first commissioned work and performance of the 2021-2022 Season of the Kansas City Ballet and the first one performed in an indoor theater after the lockdown. I would love to dedicate it to the 106th Anniversary of the world premiere of "El Amor Brujo" (Lara Theater, Madrid, April 15th, 1915).
I hope this “Amor Brujo” bewitches you and captures you like it did with me.”
