Malevo

The Music Center at Strathmore

Prepare to be amazed by MALEVO, a breathtaking blend of tradition and innovation created by the visionary director, choreographer, and dancer, Matías Jaime. This extraordinary company has transformed the classic Argentine dance of Malambo, infusing it with a bold, avant-garde flair that pushes the boundaries of performance art.

MALEVO - the “South American Sensation” - was created by director, choreographer, and dancer, Matías Jaime. The Company has reenvisioned the Argentine dance of Malambo; taking what is a traditional Argentinian folkloric dance performed originally by Gauchos of the Pampas region and elevating it to a modern, avant-garde, and transgressive vision. While maintaining the great virility and dexterity of Malambo, the Company has elevated this traditional dance by fusing its classic technique with other styles such as Flamenco, and incorporating live percussion onstage. Set to a pulsating rhythm of drums, the choreography combines the use of boleadoras, a leather and stone hunting tool used by Gauchos, with fast leg movements, energetic zapateados (stomping), and quick cepillados (“brushing”/”scrubbing”). This exciting and dynamic troupe of men has created a performance that not only pushes the Malambo style beyond its limits but gives audiences an extraordinary visual and sensory experience unlike any other.
