“As Luna Negra Dance Theater’s hypnotically lovely program drew to a close Friday night at the Harris Theater for Music and Dance — and the audience spontaneously rose to its feet in tribute to the world premiere of choreographer Eduardo Vilaro’s “Mi Corazon Negro” (”My Black Heart)” — a friend turned to me and said: “It’s like a Latin version of ‘Revelations.’ ”
That reference to Alvin Ailey’s masterwork celebrating African-American culture could not have been more appropriate. For in blending the talents of his own company’s multicultural dancers (Cuban, Venezuelan, Mexican, Puerto Rican, Panamanian and “gringa,” too), with those of Afro-Peruvian singer Susana Baca and her band (performing live), Vilaro memorably has captured the spiritual, sensual and historical essence of the Latino culture his troupe is devoted to exploring. Many ethnic tributaries fuse in “Mi Corazon Negro,” and the result is something rich and irresistible, with choreography that is exceptionally fluid, dramatic and revealing.”
