Herman Cornejo with Grupo Cadabra: Anima Animal

Longtime American Ballet Theatre principal Herman Cornejo, who was born in Buenos Aires, is the creator of a full-length work freely adapted from Caaporá, an abandoned 1915 libretto (by Argentina's Ricardo Guiraldes and Alfredo González Garaño) that was intended to be staged by the legendary aslav Nijinsky. The piece is inspired by the indigenous Guaraní people's legend of the mystical Urutaú bird. The production features choreography by Anabella Tuliano and an original score by Luis Maurette "Uji" and Noelia Escalzo; it is performed by Cornejo with Tuliano's Argentinian dance company, Grupo Cadabra.
