In A TATTOOED MAN—Alex Almaraz’s autobiographical piece recently seen at Highways and returning to the stage this weekend at Redcat—his “choreographic choices reveal a deeply emotional story; his style of movement convey intense vulnerability. With repetitive shaking and swaying motifs, as well as combating gestures conjuring simultaneous pride and desperation, A TATTOOED MAN is nuanced and heart-breaking. Throughout his performance, Almaraz presented a model of art as personal language and intrapersonal communication.” — Taliah Mancini*
