The performance at Brand, “Afro-Peruvian experience: Echoes of resistance,” will be a cultural journey through the African diaspora in Peru, its music, theater, poetry and Afro-Peruvian dances.

The Brand Associates Dance Series, curated by acclaimed choreographer, teacher and producer Jamie Nichols, presents top dance companies from Southern California performing site-specific work in non-traditional performance spaces around Brand Library & Art Center.

By integrating art from a holistic perspective, the dance company’s performances result in the cultural resistance and resilience of Peru’s African ancestors on stage. The performance at Brand, “Afro-Peruvian experience: Echoes of Resistance,” will be a cultural journey through the African diaspora in Peru, its music, theater, poetry and Afro-Peruvian dances such as: Panalivios, Zamacuecas and Festejos.
