BANCH

Not many people from my circle know them, but I just love them. They are BANCH (Ballet Nacional Chileno), a group of dancers with the leadership of Gigi Calcineau, the choreographer, they are really fantastic. They are a ballet, but not a classical ballet with tutus and ballet shoes; they do modern ballet, an inspiring ballet.

                I haven’t seen all of their performances, but about four of them I’ve been glad of seeing. The one I’m going to talk about is called VALSPARAISO. It is set in the Valparaiso port, and Chilean music. There are short presentations, with two, three, or all members, and representing several and very different things.  While one makes you feel in love, the next makes you laugh a lot, and the next one makes you a nostalgic person.

                I wish any of you could meet them; as Universidad de Chile students, we can pay $1000 to see them in Universidad de Chile Theatre.
