BALLET HISPÁNICO NEW YORK Ballet Hispánico New York’s 2026–2027 repertory expands the American dance landscape with works that are visceral, intelligent and rooted in cultural imagination. Cassi Abranches opens 2026 with a world premiere charged with explosive musicality and the syncopated pulse of contemporary life. Marianela Boán’s “Reactor Antigone” reframes the Greek myth as a meditation on conscience and power—where private conviction confronts public authority. Stephanie Martinez’s “Otra Vez, Otra Vez, Otra Vez” offers a textured, lyrical vision shaped by diasporic narratives that continue to define the American story. Eduardo Vilaro’s “Buscando a Juan” explores identity and perception through sensual gesture, inspired by The

Met’s exhibition on Juan de Pareja. In CARMEN.maquia , Gustavo Ramírez Sansano reimagines Bizet’s heroine with cinematic intensity and daring modernity. Annabelle Lopez Ochoa’s “Línea Recta” completes 2026 as a striking flamenco exploration without physical partnering, inventing an architectural movement language propelled by live guitar. In 2027, Lopez Ochoa unveils Don Q , a world-premiere reimagining of Cervantes’s mythic imagination as a fever-dream terrain where reality dissolves and the stage becomes a surreal landscape of shifting images—inviting audiences into the moment where a classic is reborn. ballethispanico.org
