At River to River, Dancers Tackle Weighty Topics With a Smile
“This light approach to heavy subjects proved consistent across the two other dance performances I saw last week as part of River to River, the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council’s free summer arts festival. Like “duel c,” the two shows — “Zero Station” by Molly Lieber and Eleanor Smith and “Ceremonia” by Antonio Ramos and the Gangbangers, both performed at the Clemente Soto Vélez Cultural and Education Center in the Lower East Side — are aimed toward healing and liberation. In both, though, this manifested partly as a liberation from clothing.”
