SOULQUAKES, a new dance by Margaret Ogas, explores Nepantla - a term with Nahuatl origins, used by Chicanos to describe the sense of existing in between worlds. The liminal space of nepantla is a land of both pain and rebirth, of heartbreak and limitless possibility. 

Featuring a cast of five movement artists, this collaborative work asks how people of various diasporas navigate the grief and euphoria of existing in liminality. Through nonlinear storytelling, humor, and embodied improvisation, the cast explores heartbreak, belonging, and what it means to enter a constant state of becoming.  

SOULQUAKES is performed by Libby Herrmann, Ashembaga (Ashe) Jaafaru, Margaret Ogas, Judith Shuǐ Xiān, and Taja Will.
