Cenart Launches Free Two-Day Dance Festival ‘Del goce a la resistencia’

The reopening of the Black Box signals a renewed push for experimental work with in-person access.

Overview

  • Cenart’s city campus hosts a two-day program curated by dancers Eugenia Vargas and Raissa Pomposo that treats dance as a critical practice rooted in joy, memory, and resistance.
  • The schedule lists more than 100 free activities across theaters, plazas, and forums inside the arts center.
  • Audiences will see a wide range of styles, including jarabe tapatío, ballet, hip-hop, contemporary dance, butoh, flamenco, and performance art.
  • The Black Box returns after a pandemic-era flood kept it closed, restoring an experimental space for works like Umbría and new pieces in progress.
  • UNAM will mount a separate large-scale celebration with 181 activities across 11 venues, with organizers expecting about 25,000 people.
