Last year’s NYC Pride celebration was giddy with delight because of the Supreme Court’s decision to make same-sex marriage legal throughout America. Things are expected to take a more somber yet angry tone this year in reaction to the horrific mass shooting in Orlando. In a letter posted on its website, NYC Pride co-chairs Maryanne Roberto Fine and David Studinski explain, “Some folks have asked if any of our events will be canceled for safety reasons. All events will continue to go on as scheduled. The reason for this is simple: we must never let those who wish to silence us win.” As always, the ticketed events are selling out fast, so you better act quickly if you want to shake your groove thang at some pretty crazy parties.

Spanish writer-director Carlo Saura celebrates the history and tradition of Argentinian music and dance in the joyous documentary Argentina. The eighty-four-year-old Saura, whose previous films include Carmen, Tango, El amor brujo, and Flamenco, Flamenco, and production designer Pablo Maestre Galli built stages in a vast, empty barn in La Boca barrio of Buenos Aires City to honor such local and regional art forms as Zamba, Vidala, Chacarera, Malambo, Copla, and Chamamé. Using archival footage, silhouette-creating scrims, mirrors, and live projections, Saura and cinematographer Félix Chango Monti follow a series of set pieces with no narration or explanation, creating a simple and beautiful record of Argentinian music and dance. Among the lovely performances are pianist Horacio Lavandera playing Carlos Guastavino’s “Bailecito,” “Bagualas” featuring Mariana Carrizo, Melania Pérez, and Tomas Lipan, “La Felipe Varela” with Chaqueño Palavecino and Jimena Teruel, “Añoranzas” by Soledad Pastorutti, Metabombo’s “Ritmo de Malambo” with Carlos “Pajarín” Saavedra and Jorge “Koki” Saavedra, and “En el fondo del mal” by Gabo Ferro and Luciana Jury.

Marcela Vilariño’s costumes add authenticity to the presentations, which also include tributes to Argentinian legends Mercedes Sosa (“Todo cambia,” in front of young students) and Atahualpa Yupanqui (“Preguntitas sobre Dios”). The choreography is by the Saavedra brothers, whose Ballet Nuevo Arte Nativo de Koki & Pajarín Saavedra dances to “Mi pueblo, mi casa, la soledad,” while Lito Vitale serves as musical coordinator (and performs “La Telesita”). Saura, whose films have been nominated for three Academy Awards for Best Foreign Language Film (in addition to numerous wins and/or nominations at the Venice, Cannes, and Berlin film festivals), occasionally goes behind the scenes, showing dancers warming up and putting on makeup, particularly before “Gato Sachero,” in which women transform into cats. Other highlights include Pedro Aznar’s “Vidala para mi sombra,” Liliana Herrero’s “Luna Tucumana,” Jaime Torres’s “Zamba Alegre,” Juventud Prolongada’s “Endiablado,” and “Volveré siempre a San Juan” and “Póngale por las hileras,” in a happening café. Even the end credits are a treat, displaying some of the colorful preparatory sketches for the sets and costumes.

HUDSON RIVER DANCE FESTIVAL 2016

Who: Stephen Petronio Company, Lar Lubovitch Dance Company, and Urban Bush Women
What: Hudson River Dance Festival
Where: Hudson River Park, Pier 63 at 23rd St.
When: Wednesday, June 15, and Thursday, June 16, free, 6:30
Why: The second annual Hudson River Dance Festival takes place on June 15 & 16 at Pier 63 in Hudson River Park, featuring three New York City-based companies. Sponsored and presented by SHS Foundation in association with the Joyce, the two evenings will consist of performances by Stephen Petronio Company, who will be at the American Dance Festival in Durham next week; Lar Lubovitch Dance Company, which was recently named an Irreplaceable Dance Treasure by Dance Heritage Coalition; and multiple Bessie award winner Urban Bush Women. “There’s something exciting about bringing a work that’s been sealed inside the theater out into a public space,” Petronio explained in a statement. “Sharing a performance in this way is what summer in the city is all about.” Petronio Dance Company will perform Locomotor, with music by Clams Casino and costumes by Narciso Rodriguez; Lubovitch will present two duets, the Richard Rodgers tribute . . . smile with my heart and Concerto Six Twenty-Two, set to Mozart’s Concerto for Clarinet and Orchestra; and Urban Bush Women will share 30th Anniversary Mash Up, consisting of excerpts from Give Your Hands to Struggle, Bitter Tongue, Shelter, Women’s Resistance, Batty Moves, and Walking with ’Trane. “A summertime sunset along the Hudson River waterfront is the perfect setting for experiencing the work of these three remarkable dance visionaries and their talented companies,” SHS Foundation president Richard Feldman said. “We invite everyone to join us at Hudson River Park’s Pier 63 waterfront for the unusual vision of contemporary dance with the Hudson River as its magnificent backdrop,” added Hudson River Park Trust CEO and president Madelyn Wils.
