In Extremis: Para.Mar Dance Theatre Explores The Many Faces Women Wear in “Mujeres” Long championing the creative power of Latina women, the company's evening-length work is inspired by Chilean poet, journalist and diplomat Gabriela Mistral.

Two dancers perform on stage; one in a flowing red dress extends gracefully forward, while the other stands behind, arms wide, both holding a red scarf. The lighting creates a dramatic and artistic atmosphere.
