"Contido"
2024
The rules imposed by society, by which we interact with each other, domesticate us. They create trends and habits that we often lose the ability to question. These rules become taken for granted, so intrinsic to our way of thinking and being that they blind us and limit our exploration and connection with our true nature. From what we feel, from our instincts also linked to our ancestors, our animalistic and wilder side emerges.
Inspired by Jack London's "The Call of the Wild," this piece investigates the actions imposed on the dancers, which both reveal unique aspects of their personalities and attempt to homogenize them.
It's a journey through invisible boundaries, challenging us to confront and transcend social and personal limitations, and to discover the beauty in the diversity of our individual responses.
