Soles of Duende make space for cross-cultural conversation in ‘Can We Dance Here?’ Nov. 5 at Eisenhower Auditorium

Dance artists from three distinct cultural backgrounds will share the stage for a stylistic discourse without saying a word. Soles of Duende will perform “Can We Dance Here?” at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 5, in Eisenhower Auditorium.

Tickets are $52 for an adult, $14 for a University Park student, and $19 for a person 18 and younger and are available for purchase online. Avoid the $4 fee by purchasing over the phone at 814-863-0255 or in person, weekdays 10 a.m.–4 p.m., at Eisenhower Auditorium.

Soles of Duende features the percussive sounds of tap (Amanda Castro), Spanish flamenco (Arielle Rosales), and Kathak Indian classical dance (Brinda Guha) in a rhythmic example of how visual performing arts can speak volumes without saying a word.

Post-performance discussion

After the performance, the artists will speak with interested audience members.
