Omar Román De Jesús’ Boca Tuya will be presenting three thought provoking works:

Caress them in a way that hurts a little

Like those playground kids at midnight

& Los Perros del Barrio Colosal

​

Caress them in a way that hurts a little (New York Premiere)
Choreography by Omar Román De Jesús
Music by OKRAA “Ola De Luz”

To say Caress them in a way that hurts a little is to embrace the paradox of intimacy: the simultaneous desire for gentleness and the need for a touch that stirs the soul. It speaks to the complexity of human connection, where vulnerability and passion intersect. This work evokes a longing for a depth of sensation that transcends mere physicality, delving into the realms of emotional intimacy and the bittersweet ecstasy of love.

Like those playground kids at midnight
Choreography by Omar Román De Jesús
Music by Jesse Scheinin

In a world that often seeks to stifle individuality, Like Those Playground Kids at Midnight stands as a beacon of defiance, encouraging all to embrace their uniqueness and challenge the boundaries that confine them. It invites us to traverse the enigmatic landscapes of desire, identity, and aspiration, all while advocating for the liberation of the soul.

Los Perros del Barrio Colosal
Choreography by Omar Román De Jesús
Music : Homenaje al Gran Lucho by Lucho Bermudez and Liebestraume, S541/R211 : No. 3: Nocturne in A-Flat Mayor by Franz Liszt

​Through the exaggerated mannerisms of daytime television, the 8 characters of Los Perros del Barrio Colosal take us on a wild romp through the challenges of creative decision making. Diving dramatically into the adventure of an imagination yet to be physicalized, they ask us to consider the far side of the moments when our ideas threaten, with disjointed urgency, to swallow us whole.
