October 12 – 15

Choreographers, dancers and life partners, French-Spanish Ramirez Sébastien and Korean-German Honji Wang, make their BAM debut with Monchichi, “…a choreographic study of cultural identity,” with their blend of ballet and martial arts.  “Intercultural identities are the bread and butter of Wang Ramirez, the polyglot performance duo…since they met dancing in Berlin, the two communicate the complexity of human relationships through their signature dance-theater aesthetic.  On a bare stage with nothing but a single wooden tree, Monchichi grows out of the spaces between the two dancers’ hybrid cultures and the movement idioms in which they’re trained: ballet, b-boying, and martial arts…” according to the release.
