As part of The Met’s celebration of Hispanic/Latinx Heritage Month, we’re thrilled to release the video of “Buscando a Juan,” along with a discussion between choreographer Eduardo Vilaro, The Met’s Lulu C. and Anthony W. Wang General Manager of Live Arts Limor Tomer, and co-curator of the exhibition “Juan de Pareja: Afro-Hispanic Painter” Vanessa K. Valdés.

Choreographed by Ballet Hispánico Artistic Director and CEO Eduardo Vilaro, “Buscando a Juan” (“Looking for Juan”) reacts to the ideas presented in The Met’s exhibit “Juan de Pareja: Afro-Hispanic Painter.” This MetLiveArts commission explores the “sancocho”—literally, mixed soup—of cultures and diasporas. Through the exoticized body and fixation on gesture and sensuality, “Buscando a Juan” considers the assumptions experienced when witnessing people of color in traditionally white spaces.

“Buscando a Juan” is made possible by the Arnhold Fund for Dance Innovation at The Met and the Adrienne Arsht Fund for Resilience through Art.

Recorded on Thursday, July 13, 2023 in the Robert Lehman Wing, Court Level
