TEN-GALLON

  • Fountain Theatre 2469 Calle De Guadalupe Las Cruces, NM, 88005 United States (map)

Step into a mesmerizing queer world where the "wild west" collides with the captivating realm of contemporary dance. TEN-GALLON is an exhilarating world premiere performance created and choreographed by Joshua L. Peugh that will ignite your senses, challenge your perceptions, and redefine the boundaries of masculinity in the iconic Western genre.

Our talented cast embarks on a groundbreaking journey that excavates the very essence of what the western has represented globally. We take the genre's deeply ingrained tropes and stereotypes and skillfully twist them into a new narrative, one that will leave you spellbound and eager for more.

This project is supported in part by New Mexico Arts, a division of the Department of Cultural Affairs, and by the National Endowment for the Arts.

Dark Circles Contemporary Dance was supported by New Music USA’s Organization Fund in 2023-24.
