This project is born from search for Latin American memory— a memory that inhabits the body and reveals itself through dance.
It proposes an encounter between Latin American popular rhythms and contemporary dance, where both languages dialogue, confront each other, and ultimately transform one another. This meeting does not take place in a neutral territory: it is shaped by a queer and performative identity that continuously questions what it means to be an immigrant dancer in an european context.
At the core of the work lies transformation.
Themes such as identity, otherness, passion, rejection, and desire are approached not from pain, but from the pleasure of movement. Through this pleasure, the choreography becomes both resistance and re-writing— resisting normative discourses that mark and limit our bodies, and re-writing how we inhabit, express, and imagine ourselves. Here, the body is not simply an aesthetic object; it is a discursive and political space from which responses, questions, and contradictions emerge.
How can bodily language inhabit new environments?
How can dance intervene in the everyday, the public, the political?
How can we build community through movement?
