Los Lupeños de San José (San Jose, CA), May 2008
Directed by Tony Ferrigno
This concert by Los Lupeños de San José, one of California’s oldest and most prestigious folklórico dance companies, celebrated Mother’s Day with a series of traditional and contemporary dances from various regions of México.
Minimal scenic elements set the stage for the different regions without interfering with the stage space needed by the dancers. The entire space is framed by a collage of oversized photos, provided by the dancers of Los Lupeños de San José, of their own mothers and grandmothers, creating a very personal space for the dancers and for their family and friends in the audience.
