A visionary world premiere from Co.ERASGA, Eternal Gestures<\/em> is a trilogy of evocative solo works commissioned from Indigenous Coast Salish-based choreographers Starr Muranko, Michelle Olson and Margaret Grenier, and performed by Artistic Director Alvin Erasga Tolentino.<\/p>\n

This poetic work uplifts the voices of Indigenous women, asserts our deep connection to the land, and speaks to truth, healing, and the decolonization of art. Tolentino’s captivating performance becomes both a spiritual journey and a vessel for knowledge-sharing. This milestone production celebrates Co.ERASGA\u2019s 25th anniversary and reaffirms the company\u2019s fierce commitment to cross-cultural, experimental dance which explores identity, ancestry, and the environment.<\/p>\n
