Where I Belong is an evening-length program by Angel Ramirez that weaves together choreographic works exploring cultural memory, queer identity, and transformation. Featured works—including Niño joto, Renacimiento, and What if I never saw you again—invite audiences to reflect on resilience, vulnerability, and the pursuit of belonging.
The program also highlights the premiere of Brown Baby by guest artist Gabriel Mata, further expanding the evening’s dialogue on identity and representation. Where I Belong honors community, love, and resilience while positioning dance as a vessel for storytelling and collective healing.
