INTERSTICES features over 50 dancers and musicians appearing outside of the usual “traditional” spaces for dance performances. Set in post-depression, pre-World War II Ybor City, the spellbinding story will happen throughout the neoclassical “El Círculo Cubano de Tampa" (Cuban Club). It will bring to life this era of the Tampa Bay Area’s unique history — sophisticated and seductive but at times tawdry and perilous, too.
The audience will move in and amongst the actions of the talented Tampa City Ballet (TCB) company of dancers and performers, who will be adorned in sequined gowns, jewelry, feathers, tuxedoes and uniforms of the 1930s. While blurring the lines between performers and spectators, INTERSTICES culminates in the vast, chandeliered Cuban Club Ballroom for a retelling of reminiscences and impressions from the memoir book, Tampa - Impressions of an Emigrant, by Cuban diplomat and historian, Wenceslao Galvez y Delmonte, translated by Noel M. Smith.
Once again, curated original and mesmerizing music will enliven the evening and underscore this fascinating story with singers, pianists, a violinist, a live band and a 20-member choir — even burlesque dancers.
