Experiencing Interruptions?

Les Barbares

In this audiovisual piece, we go to the meeting of the body with dance, defined in documentary videodance format, narrating the stories of four people, sullied by their social conditions, who corporeally and in dialogue with the lens, poeticizing their lives, we spend from everyday life , contrasting with their imagined worlds. Our protagonists without specific experience in dance, belong to the LGBTQI+ sector, and each one belongs to other communities at the same time: Afro-descendant population, with disabilities, women, sex workers, some of them illiterate, older adults.
