Ballet Hispánico, the nation's largest Latinx cultural organization and one of America's Cultural Treasures, announces the release of Eduardo Vilaro's Buscando a Juan, now available for online on-demand screening for free. Buscando a Juan premiered as part of the Summer 2023 MetLiveArts Season from July 13-15, 2023 at The Robert Lehman Wing at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, and was inspired by The Met's Juan de Pareja, Afro-Hispanic Painter exhibition. A screening of the performance, co-hosted by Ballet Hispánico and MetLiveArts, was held on September 12, 2023, followed by a panel discussion and Q&A featuring Limor Tomer, Lulu C. and Anthony W. Wang, General Manager, MetLiveArts; Vanessa K. Valdés, Co-Curator of the Juan de Pareja, Afro-Hispanic Painter exhibition; and Eduardo Vilaro, Artistic Director & CEO of Ballet Hispánico.
In celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month, videos of both the performance at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the panel and Q&A at Ballet Hispánico are now available for screening at https://www.metmuseum.org/events/programs/met-live-arts/digital-premieres/ballet-hispanico-digital-premiere.
