Hom[e]age is a dance project that uncovers the histories of Puerto Rico’s forgotten elder population, recognizing their legacy as a necessary foundation of what is best in today’s Puerto Rico. The original sounds and movement forms of bolero, bomba, salsa, merengue, guaguanco provide the dance-scape where past and present intertwine as a necessary precondition to forge an inclusive future. The project promotes cultural presence and embraces action to open a space for the senior population to be present, engage with, and most importantly take action to influence the cultural expressions and representations of Puerto Rican contemporary society.
