A labyrinth of love and passion. The choice between exile and conformity. In the end it's the human spirit that takes flight in Milan Kundera's novel, The Unbearable Lightness of Being. Cuban expat Marianela Boan premieres The Unbearable Lightness, her latest dance work based on Kundera's classic. Boan infuses the story of love and politics with her signature "contaminated dance" and her perspective as a recently arrived Cuban. Performers Elaine Wright and Jorge Luis Morejon dance and sing through the bleakness and ultimately lift the piece to great heights. The performance is at 8:00 tonight and Saturday, March 13, at FIU University Park's Wertheim Theater, 11200 SW 8th St. (Room VH-100). Tickets cost $12. <http://www.miaminewtimes.com/2004-03-11/calendar/levity/>
