Tierra de Roces

Two bodies meet and converse. They wonder about their history, their origins, their myths. Both are believed to be dark, dirty, and unpunished. Faith labels them as heretics, humanity as fertile, the market sets limits, prices them and sells them. She stopped being a goddess to become a serpent, and fertile to become poisonous. A body that tries to sort through its remains to reconquer itself, to re-establish itself.

Performance piece for one body and 350 kilos of soil. The first involves the constant action of building a landscape, a territory. In a visual, poetic, and kinetic connection with the material, the performer explores some of the concepts that permeate both: fertility, ownership, conquest, map, and territory; and translates them into performance and dance actions.
