Piñata 45: The End of Her Rope
A Multi-Media Dance Theater Production
Co-Presented by Piñata Dance Collective & Dance Mission Theater
Directed by Liz Duran Boubion

FB event page:
This amazing cast of nine dancers and two musicians have come together over time exploring issues of body dysmorphia, sexual violation, harassment, domestic violence, cosmetic surgery, the commodification of women and other provocations through contemporary dance, personal story, aerial bungee exploration and grotesque-burlesque.
While the former owner of Miss Universe and accused perpetrator of sexual harassment and domestic violence sits in the white house, the number of women speaking out against violence is rising. For the Piñata Dance Collective, the body becomes a site and process of showing how resilient and fragile the body of the feminine can be. Please donate, purchase tickets, and share with social media.
**We need to reach our goal by May 12th!
Our work is sadly under-funded and we are asking for your support to pay the artists! Some of us have been working on this project for over a year and there are currently six un-paid rehearsals a week- each one devoted to a different section of the evenings offerings.
**Your donation supports the resilience and fragility of women (and our male allies) in dance and will allow us to pay for costumes, artist fees, venue and set design.
**The undertaking of high production is one of the grandest contributions to culture and consciousness we do. The cost is high on every level… financial, emotional, physical, mental…and the returns are immeasurable. We dive deep into personal story, and come out on the other end with movement and text to share and show less than obvious truths and strategies to survive injustice, violence, discrimination and internalized oppression.
Andreina Maldonado, Kristen Rulifsen, Dominique Nigro and Ronja Ver
The story of “Zinzi” written and performed by Issachar Curbeeon with musical composition by Chelsea Kirby, reflects on racism in the mirror of an African American girl with body dysmorphia.
On the pedestal of beauty, the stage becomes a memorial altar for women deceased by cosmetic surgery, suicide, eating disorders and violence. The underbelly of the Miss Universe contest reveals personal-political stories by the performers tackling racial oppression, objectification and misogyny through the multi-media language of movement, poetry, video and music.
The story of Miss Venezuela is danced by Andreina Maldonado and Dominique Nigro exposing the shadow of cosmetic surgery historically situated within a repressive government regime.
Boubion’s, Piñata Humana, attempts to lift the blindfold off of the male gaze with guest collaborators, Scott Wells, Kyle Her and Cesar Soto. Zoe Klein is serving as an outside eye giving her directorial support.
The evening also includes a new development called “#DontGrab2”, the PussyFleet’s response to the lewd conversation between Trump and Billy Bush featuring award-winning composer, David Molina. Photo credit: Yvonne Portra
#DontGrab was performed last November, for FLACC 2017, the 4th Annual Festival of Latin American Contemporary Choreographers, founded by PDC director, Liz Duran Boubion.
