A duet featuring the choreographer himself was an unexpected treat when Boca Tuya, founded in 2018 by Omar Román de Jesús, took the stage at 92NY last week. De Jesús is a scintillating model for the liquid, undulating movement style that flows through all three works of the evening. I could track his pulse, beginning with a nod of his head, eyes lowered as if in a trance, as it snaked through his body. He and dancer Ian Spring circle and entwine as if passing an electric coil between them, surrendering and accepting each other’s full weight while rarely losing physical contact. Full of sensual vulnerability, the effect is hypnotic. The duet, “Like those playground kids at midnight,” was a crowd favorite the evening I attended.
