"Mesquita and his Mimulus dance company ought to be bottled and sold as elixir." The New York Times
Led by Artistic Director Jomar Mesquita, Mimulus lights up the stage with an exciting blend of samba, contemporary dance, and imaginative visual design. This beloved company opens the season with the U.S. premiere of Por Um Fio (By a Thread), inspired by the life and work of unique visual artist Arthur Bispo do Rosário.
Dancers interact with an ingenious graffiti-adorned backdrop of fabric, thread, and lights, performing to an energetic collage of Latin-influenced music. Mimulus dancers are masters of sensational partnering, spins, and lifts, and their joyous movement leaves audiences wanting more.
Based in Belo Horizonte, Brazil, Mimulus made its U.S. debut at Jacob's Pillow in 2007 to critical and audience acclaim. Click here for a Dance Interactive clip from their 2007 show, and scroll down for a preview of their upcoming 2012 performance, Por Um Fio (By a Thread).
