DO THE FEATURED IMAGE!For choreographer Carlos Pons Guerra, the journey to Mariposa has been a long one—six years, in fact. The production, which is now set to make its London debut at The Place, is an audacious reimagining of Madama Butterfly, weaving in elements of colonial history, queer identity, and gender transformation. It is, as Pons Guerra puts it, a ballet without words, where bodies tell a story of love, betrayal, and hope.
