Finally, choreographer Carlos Pons Guerra and his company DeNada Dance Theatre bring their critically acclaimed show Mariposa, to Mansfield Palace Theatre on Friday, February 28.

Carlos’s work often stems from his personal experience and his desire to put LGBTQ+ narratives on the dance stage, stylishly staged in ways that evoke his cultural heritage.

With a truly distinctive style, theatricality and aesthetic, his work explores gender, cultural and sexual identity.

Created in 2021, Mariposa is set to an original score by three-time winner of the Spanish MAX Awards for the Performing Arts, Luis Miguel Cobo, which takes its inspiration from Caribbean sounds as well as Puccini.

Engulfed in a tropical storm of repressed desires, Mariposa is a passionate and deeply moving exploration of what we are ready to sacrifice in order to be loved and accepted.
