wild impulses
¨Pulsiones Savages¨ is a butoh dance performance with ballet elements about the transfiguration of a body and identity.
What identity is, what memories, make up what we believe we are.
In a time crossed by questions regarding the rupture of the binary and the virtual identities that we inhabit, this performance takes the deconstruction of the concept of identity as a physical and visual question. What we are, how we move through time. What animal instincts survive in a mediated body.
Suelta su piel

A Through dance, physical theater and experimental photography, this play reflects on the place of women in relation to those particular dresses, their link with time and their power to transform.

The corset as a device to address the construction of the body on stage in a solo that investigates body indoctrination.
