“This was dance with a human face, and superhuman energy.”
“Jomar Mesquita and his Mimulus Dance Company ought to be bottled and sold as elixir. Forget about Vitaminwater and Red Bull. For an hour on Friday night at Jacob’s Pillow Dance Festival here, the sassy, charming young dancers of this Brazilian troupe filled the Ted Shawn Theater with infectious wit and energy as well as intriguing dance invention.”
