An exclusive screening of one of URBAN-15’s most acclaimed works, “TEMPORAL”.

“Temporal” is a ten-movement work commissioned by URBAN-15 in 1991. The work was created, directed and choreographed by Puerto Rican performance artist and dancer, Myrna Renaud during her five-month workshop residency at URBAN-15.

“Temporal” is a vibrant visual and sound tableaux of life on a small Caribbean island. Each of the movements was choreographed to depict a community’s awareness that survival is at the mercy of the surrounding sea. Renaud explores the continuing cycle of Life, Death, and Recovery, using the URBAN-15 Ensemble as her creative instrument.

The large ensemble included sixteen dancers and eleven drummers. This video of “TEMPORAL” was recorded in October 2005 at El Gran Sala Del Teatro De La Ciudad in Monterrey, N.L., Mexico.
