Andor
Andor is a choreography built from a text of autobiographical nature, which weaves relationships between a personal situation of trauma and the broader struggle for rights as they relate to gender issues. How does a mother secure her right to motherhood? What happens in the audience’s perception upon hearing this story told not exclusively by cisgender women?
Departing from a profane approach to the communication mechanisms of sacred art, we work on the attributes of a body, the spatialization of a discourse, and the movement of assisting the displacement of a person, as a gesture of propulsion of the other and of oneself, in the act of walking collectively.
