Pre-Show: THREAD by Kinesis Project dance theatre, uptown’s large-scale outdoor dance company presents excerpts of their newest work THREAD – in, without and within – Penetrable, an interactive sculpture by artist Jesús Rafael Soto. Kinesis Project brings spectacular, surprisingly intimate dances to public spaces in NYC and Seattle.

THREAD considers the similarities between the delicate, feathery mineral elements that interconnect and create bonds in rock; the thin strands of flax that combine to become rope strong enough to haul a ship; the movement of trees as “agents of progressive rock cracking”

Presented in collaboration with Inwood Art Works, Cine al Fresco is the Hispanic Society’s annual free outdoor film series dedicated to Spanish and Latin American cinema.

The program begins at 6pm with a special pre-show live performance followed by the film at 7pm.

All films are shown in their original language with English subtitles.
