SIUDY Between Worlds Electrifies Audiences at The Adrienne Arsht Center

Contemporary flamenco performer, Siudy Garrido, received an overwhelming applause for the three performances staged of the highly acclaimed SIUDY Between Worlds Entre Mundos at the Adrienne Arsht Center For The Performing Arts in Miami on June 23rd and June 24th.

Following a long stretch of shows off Broadway in New York City last year, the mesmerizing dance theater spectacle returned to South Florida and its home town of Miami for three shows over two days at the Adrienne Arsht Center in downtown Miami. Each show brought a full house at the prestigious Knight Concert Hall, as audiences celebrated the progressive and contemporary fusion of traditional flamenco with multiple urban dance forms, featuring three unforgettable lead performances by the show’s co-founder and talented choreographer, Siudy Garrido. Audiences were brought to their feet as standing ovations were given to the show’s dance theater troupe of 25 colorful performers and its leading lady. Siudy Between Worlds is produced by Pablo Croce Productions, a Miami-based award winning dance theater and screen production company, led by industry veteran, Pablo Croce.

“We did not expect such an incredibly overwhelming reception for the show,” said executive producer, Pablo Croce.  “The production has matured immensely over the years, since it was introduced in 2009, and we have always believed that its diversity would bring a refreshing appeal to South Florida.  Siudy Between Worlds is a cross-cultural celebration of life and love and resembles much of what Miami has to offer.  We thank all our sponsors, patrons and supporters for helping to make our homecoming such a success.  Most of all, we wish to thank The City of Miami and the community at large for celebrating with us our love of theater and the arts.”

Co-created in 2009 by award-winning executive producer and artistic director, Pablo Croce, Siudy Between Worlds brought a primeval and futuristic story of love and passion, encapsulated by Croce’s theatrical vision and the choreographed excellence of Siudy Garrido. Audiences experienced an unforgettable story of affection, told through the universal language of percussion and dance, set in a futuristic world and in the wake of a catastrophic and climatic global apocalypse. Throughout each performance, Siudy commanded the stage with her dominant presence during scenes set against a perilous landscape that presented a memorable juxtaposition between the art of melodic flamenco and an aggressive hybrid of urban dance.

“We are thrilled to have had the opportunity to tell our story to such a culturally rich audience,” said Siudy Garrido.  “Miami has always been in our hearts and we consider South Florida our home away from home.  I have been so touched by the warmness and support of this community and we are all extremely pleased that our performance has resonated so deeply with those who managed to experience our work.  I would like to thank all our supporters for their love and kindness.”

Brought to Miami as its largest production to-date, Siudy Between Worlds is a cross-discipline dance theater performance spectacle that integrates one-of-a-kind, progressive, flamenco choreography using a sampling of live urban and afro percussion. Traditional instruments from across the globe are organically weaved into street beats and beatboxing, among other musical influences.  Breakdance, hip-hop and funk dance troops fuse their movements in a portrayal of a struggle for survival.  Each tribe represents a core artistic talent that is carefully revealed throughout the intensity of the storyline.  As a desperate world continues to unfold, the audience experiences the true extent of this spectacular, world-class performance, intricately weaved into an unforgettable and climactic ending. Award-winning Flamenco composer, Sevillian Diego Franco, scores the original music for Siudy Between Worlds.

Following the series of shows at The Adrienne Arsht Center, Ada Rojas from The City of Miami presented the founders of Siudy Between Worlds – Pablo Croce and Siudy Garrido – with two prestigious plaques to honor them for their artistic accomplishments within the community.

Siudy Between Worlds will continue to captivate audiences with a series of shows in Caracus, Venezuela in November 2012.  Visit www.betweenworldsnyc.com <http://www.betweenworldsnyc.com>  or www.facebook.com/BetweenWorlds <http://www.facebook.com/BetweenWorlds> for further updates and information.
