THE CENTER AT WEST PARK PRESENTS

The night that you stopped acting/La noche que dejaste de actuar is a one-woman show by Anabella Lenzu that confronts the absurdity and irony of life while being an artist and a spectator in today’s world. The work reflects Lenzu’s experience as a Latina artist living in New York and comes from a deep examination of her motivations as a woman, mother, and immigrant.
Originally from Argentina, Anabella Lenzu is a dancer, choreographer, writer, and teacher with over 30 years of experience working in Argentina, Chile, Italy, and the USA. Lenzu directs her own company, Anabella Lenzu/DanceDrama (ALDD), which since 2006 has presented 390 performances, created 14 choreographic works, and performed at 100 venues, presenting thought-provoking and historically conscious dance-theater in NYC. As a choreographer, she has been commissioned all over the world for opera, TV programs, theatre productions, and by many dance companies. She has produced and directed several award-winning short dance films and screened her work in over 100 festivals both nationally and internationally, including Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Canada, Cyprus, France, Greece, India, Indonesia, Ireland, Italy, London, Mexico, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Serbia, Spain, Switzerland, United States & Venezuela. Lenzu has written for various dance and art magazines, and published her first book in 2013, entitled Unveiling Motion and Emotion.
The Center at West Park’s Evolution Festival and presentation of The night that you stopped acting/La noche que dejaste de actuar is made possible by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature.
