SYNOPSIS
Want to know, recognize, to value. To want! The worth of an encounter doesn't reside in time, but in the attention and intention we give to the moment. This is my first time in Colombia, the eyes that look are mine, but they are guided by the people destiny brought me close to and with whom I live and create here. I don't intend to create a work that mirrors the problems, the difficulties, the attitudes... it's the discussion about these matters that is important, absorbing various perspectives, and that will be subtly represented in the piece we are constructing here. Stories intertwining here and now. Through dance, body, and movement – I aim to display our encounter, a poetic approach to what shapes and informs us. From deeply rooted traditions to personal expressions, we will celebrate the diversity that completes us, 'here from where the eye gazes, now that the ear listens, the time the voice doesn't speak, but the heart pays homage to.'"
