J'Dance School of Dance and the Ecuadorian American Cultural Center are proud to present the Ecuadorian legend "Cantuña" at The Secret Theatre, June 21, 22 & 23, 2024. In colonial times, an indigenous man named Cantuña was entrusted with the construction of the cathedral of San Francisco, in Quito. Cantuña accepts and is asked to finish the work in six months, in exchange for receiving a certain amount of money. However, one night before the deadline, the building is still not finished. The Devil appears before Cantuña offering to finish the construction as long as Cantuña gives him his soul. "Cantuña" features music, dance and Ecuadorian folklore with a book written by Pablo Concha (based on traditional Ecuadorian legends), directed by Felipe Vásquez-Encamilla, choreographed by Wendi Palacios and produced by J'Dance School of the Arts.
