About the event
By Henry Gerena
The main context in which the piece's development is framed has to do with colonialism and its influence in today's world. Colonialism made the world's political map look like it does today, with borders that ignore local realities; where the colonial powers denied or misunderstood the cultural, economic, political, and social particularities of the peoples under colonial domination, imposing their own. From the performative dance, a visual discourse is established that is loaded with symbology and allows the establishment of a unique position about personal experience in the face of colonization, religion, society, and race.
