Karen Lugo is a wonderful blow to the purists. She is a maximum beauty wrapped in a minimalist form. She has all the volcanic strength of her homeland, Mexico. Lugo has directed and choreographed The DeMente Territory, which will be performed by Lugo with three musicians, two singers and a male dancer delivering flamenco in its most authentic and glorious form. Her volcanic energy is a force to behold.
