TORO: Beauty and the Bull, DeNada Dance Theatre’s new production, is a full-length narrative work which presents a gender-questioning, Hispanic take on the fairy tale Beauty and the Beast.

It embarks on a national tour in March and April and heads to The Lowry for one night on April 1.

Set in a circus sideshow of a dystopian South American country, TORO is a grotesque tragicomedy played out by conquistadors, female bulls and dragimals—animals in drag.
