Animula puts poetry in motion

Poetry, dance, music and theater will be woven together in the debut performance of Animula to be staged Saturday, March 16, 7 p.m., on the outdoor terrace of Chapala’s Centro Cultural Gonzalez Gallo (CCGG).

The show features choreography by Chapala native and distinguished dance artist Gabriela Cuevas, who took her inspiration from the works of Guadalajara poet Jorge Esquinca.  Her dance troupe will play off selected readings of Esquinca’s verses from Animula, a collection entitled with the Latin term meaning small soul.  The feminine element and profound mystery of creation are thematic threads that tie the poems together.
