Mirror

Mirror es una pieza que incorpora danza, juegos artísticos, y sistemas de entrenamiento físico como el Parkour y Movimientos Animales, para crear un vocabulario de movimiento único. La audiencia se convierte en una entidad activa en el espacio performativo, reflejando la idea de que la vida está llena de obstáculos por superar. Por medio de la improvisación y la reflexión, los danzantes revelan sus historias personales, y adoptan el uso de espejos como instrumentos para desatar su potencial. La pieza también aborda la necesidad de tener una representación cultural más amplia en la comunidad de la danza, buscando reducir la disparidad entre los círculos artísticos y el público en general.
