Event Summary

CONTRA-TIEMPO returns to ASU Gammage with joyUS Justus on February 15, 2020.

This urban Latin dance theater experience takes on joy as the ultimate expression of resistance. Whenever humans have survived immense hardship and injustice, prevailing with their humanity intact, the presence of joy has always been at the root.

joyUS justUS reclaims the dominant deficit–based narrative of people of color in this country as being underprivileged, voiceless, powerless, and victimized, and flips it on its head by embodying stories of joy.
