Award winning filmmaker Mitch Dickman of Listen Productions and Parasol Arts' Creative Director, Lorita Travaglia have created an artistic dance film contrasting the macrocosm of the universe and the microcosm of the intimacy of human relationships.
The Seasons is a story about the cycles of the universe, the planet, human lives and relationships. Set in an art gallery on a Saturday night where a few avid tango dancers have gathered to dance during the pandemic of 2020, three strangers, inspired by the paintings depicting the seasons of nature imagine different seasons of romantic relationships through stunning choreography.
In this unique look at the seasons of human connection, world class Argentine Tango stars, Diana Cruz and Donato Juarez - who previously starred in Parasol Arts' production Carmen the Tango - are joined by Domenico Luciano, former principal dancer with Colorado Ballet.
In addition to the thrilling dance, multiple artistic mediums are represented as well. The film incorporates the visual artwork of Michelle Courier from Denver's Westward Gallery, the music of Astor Piazzolla's "The Four Seasons of Buenos Aries" played by The Austin Piazzolla Quintet and the poetry of Vivaldi. Truly, this is one project that will thrill fans of nearly any artistic style.
Made possible through the generous support of Colorado Creative Industries and National Endowment for the Arts
