[2024]
Multisensory performance: dance, music, sculpture, video, and text projections.
Awarded selection by Het TheaterFestival (BE) 2025.
Imagine a sci-fi world shaped by the musical genre of reggaeton, the urban dance perreo, the linguistic experience of accessing everyday life through a limited understanding of English, and the historical connection of Central America with the export of exotic fruits. Two burning bodies guide us through the landscapes of a strange world, to explore the bittersweet ventures of the Global South-Global North migration.
