eMeLe-K: An Afro-Latin Festival for Dr. Martin Luther King
Company:
Carole Alexis Ballet Theatre / Ballet des Ameriques
Ballet des Amériques / Carole Alexis Ballet Theatre is thrilled to return to Teatro LATEA for eMeLe-K, “an Afro-Latin thing for Martin Luther King”. The company’s performances, featuring Carole Alexis’ diverse choreographies, dwell on the beauty of dance movement fully aligned with the profound emotion associated with Afro Caribbean roots.
eMeLeK is a cultural and artistic project/festival presented yearly at Teatro LATEA in New York. Curated with a focus on celebrating African diasporic and Afro‑Latinx culture and legacy, the festival connects to the principles of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s vision of equality, justice, healing, and reconciliation. It provides a platform for performing and visual arts, music, dance, and community dialogue, highlighting the contributions of Afro‑Latinos, African Americans, and allies through artistic expression.
Come join us for an uplifting and fulfilling experience, celebrating the performing arts and creative expression. Be inspired, moved, and connected through a festival that honors culture, artistry, and community.
