Cuerpas Enlazadas
FREE! RSVP to receive weather updates.
Cuerpas Enlazadas is a site-specific dance installation that explores performance as an act of reciprocal care inspired by the poem of Octavio Paz ‘Dos Cuerpos’ (two bodies). Diana López and Victòria Mata sculpt a visual narrative of a poetic encounter that takes place in the suspension of time, unleashing the fears and secrets inherited from their origin stories.
