About:
This creative piece seeks to transgress the codes and formats of acceptable bodies in contemporary dance. It invites “atypical” performers to celebrate the complexity of dance and to explore what exists outside the established notion of a contemporary society.
Inspired by the particular universe of Colombian painter Botero, whose artwork ironically exaggerates corporal forms to investigate the human condition, the selected dancers question the ambiguous relationship between singularity and collectivity, between the intimate search for the self and collective aspirations, between the genuine and the coded. The result is an ensemble of unique personalities with exceptional bodies that first perform an inward-looking dance, before gradually responding more outwardly to ‘others.’
