Mi Pret'i Wowo (2024)
A father’s return to the stage, a daughter’s gift of forgiveness: Mi Pret’i Wowo by Junadry Leocaria.
Mi Pret’i Wowo is an interdisciplinary rhythmic exploration of connection and healing. This duet, performed by choreographer Junadry Leocaria and her father, Candido 'Junny' Maduro, delves into the complexities of their relationship.
Blending Afro-Caribbean dance styles, Latin, Waacking, and live visual storytelling, this performance highlights the intricate bond between father and daughter. It reveals the vulnerable side of a proud man yearning for forgiveness, compassion, and love from his daughter.
Candido 'Junny' Maduro is a former professional dancer who had to leave the stage due to illness. He now returns after years of recovery, invited by his daughter, Junadry. For years, Candido and Junadry carried the weight of emotional distance, and a complex shared history neither could fully understand. This October, they share a duet that bridges past misunderstandings. To honor their Afro-Caribbean culture and to make space for healing. Join us and help us turn dance into a language of forgiveness and compassion. I'm contributing too. Through film, live drawings, and storytelling, I bring to life a rich history of dance traditions and cultures passed down through generations.
Mi Pret’i Wowo invites you into a world where collective healing takes center stage, where vulnerabilities are embraced, and where there is space for new narratives to unfold.
