Franklin Stage Company presents a dance concert featuring New York-based dance company Calpulli Mexican Dance Company, July 26–28 at Chapel Hall in Franklin. Calpulli’s repertoire is a carnival of folkloric traditions mixed with original creations as a celebration of the cultural legacy of past and present. Their narrative-based stories combine the vocabulary of dance, music, elaborate colorful costumes, and the passion of performance with the Mexican-American spirit. With a contemporary voice, Calpulli tours a portfolio of stories that share an enlightened perception of the voyage of immigrants and hispanic Americans that seeks to highlight and celebrate history and the shared humanity of our experiences. Their performances are a celebration, expressing the company’s universal messages of love and hope.
