Malevo, an all-male troupe that specializes in the traditional Argentine folk dance Malambo, performs at The Wortham Center for the Performing Arts\u2019 Diana Wortham Theatre on Friday and Saturday, March 3 and 4, at 8 p.m. Modernizing the folk dance originally performed by the gauchos of La Pampa, Malevo takes Malambo to another level for a visual and sensory experience that\u2019s both elegant and wild.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen planning for the Wortham\u2019s 22\/23 season, we recognized that, after a long period of stress, people were ready to escape and to be entertained,\u201d says the Wortham Center\u2019s managing director Rae Geoffrey. \u201cMalevo immediately rose to the top as a new touring act full of excitement, passion and skill that could transport audience members for a few hours.\u201d<\/p>\n

The dance company\u2019s founding artistic director, choreographer and dancer Mat\u00edas Jaime created Malevo in 2015. Though the traditional Argentine dance of virility and skill is his main resource, he takes Malambo beyond its own limits with a modern, avant-garde and transgressive vision. Performances feature drums, boleadoras and zapateo and provide spectators with an adrenaline-filled visual and sensory experience.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor Malevo and me, the most important thing about the show is the opportunity to spread our culture and express ourselves as artists,\u201d says Jaime. \u201cWe seek to enrich the audience not only with energy and dynamic moments but also by sharing the feeling, the passion.\u201d<\/p>\n

The company achieved worldwide recognition after its successful participation as a semi-finalist in the television program America\u2019s Got Talent. Malevo received the Marca Pais distinction as a cultural ambassador of Argentina. The company has toured worldwide, with performances in Las Vegas, New York, Dubai, Paris, Cairo, St. Petersburg and Montreal as well as special performances with Latin pop star Ricky Martin, Cirque du Soleil and a year-long residency at Universal Studios Japan.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is our goal always to leave a mark on those who come to the theater, to touch their souls and to feel a connection with our art,\u201d says Jaime.<\/p>\n

A Master Class led by members of Malevo takes place Saturday, March 4, at 11 a.m. at Henry LaBrun Studio. Participants will learn foundational Malambo steps and choreography and have an opportunity to engage with the company\u2019s art and artists.<\/p>\n
