No other Portuguese artist since Am谩lia Rodrigues has built an international career with as much success on the most prestigious world stages than Mariza.

She began her 20-year career as an almost hidden local phenomenon, known only to a small circle of Lisbon admirers. Today, she transcends her own name, regarded as one of the most applauded stars on the World Music circuit and a true ambassador of the melancholy, blues-like Portuguese fado, boldly taking it along new and daring paths without ever losing sight of its soul.

Threshold, a dual program by choreographer Claudine Naganuma of dNaga Dance Co. and Choreographer SanSan Kwan, offers a feminist response to anti-Asian violence and Asian American invisibility.

鈥淯nbound鈥 a performance directed by Claudine Naganuma and performed by dNaga Dance Co. explores the origins of anti-Asian violence through poignant narratives of incarceration of Japanese Americans during WWII, the impact of patriarchy on girls, and the modern-day repercussions of racist legislation. The piece delves into trajectories of hope through themes of unity and care, drawing inspiration from figures like Yuri Kochiyama and examining the practices that propel us towards collective liberation.  

When we witness a violent act, a pain is felt through the body. 鈥淭wo Doors,鈥 a performance directed by SanSan Kwan, explores the viscerality of anti-Asian racism and the sovereignty that we wrestle for ourselves in response. Dancers experiment with closings and openings, weight sharing and weight bearing, surveillance and care, playing with the kinetics of in/visibility, anticipated harm, redress, and repair.
