IN VERSUS is a work that, through contemporary dance, performance and stage design, addresses the concept of otherness and its implications for contemporary human coexistence and development.
The piece invites us to reflect on the urgency of (re)thinking the ways in which people relate to each other and to the environment in the context of a globalized world marked by individualism and extractivism.
Eight bodies move in mysterious convulsions. They walk, exercise, and celebrate. But what do their movements represent: suffering or joy? Pride or fear?
Together, they form a security force, a mechanical and turbulent organization made up of highly disciplined bodies trained to inflict violence upon themselves and others. Maintain order! Such is the imperative. In a kind of abstract museum space, security forces, their victims, and fantastical horror characters come together in a ritual of confession, atonement, and lamentation.
Inspired by the social explosion that took to the streets of Santiago, Chile, on October 18, 2019, La Re-sentida presents a work on how violence and indignation inhabit and invade the body. Oasis de la Impunidad invites us to question all democracies that are currently reassessing their history.
