Selected projects
TIGRE
The party is also a political struggle. Dance, a form of dissidence and resistance in these turbulent times. Escape binarism, break the limit of bodies by collectively building a common body, sharing knowledge-feelings from different social contexts and artistic universes. The track de-hierarchizes contact, inviting other possible dialogues between those present. There are no expectations, there are no pre-made forms, there is no error; the incomplete, the non-certainty is embraced.

Since 2019, the study on the dance floor, the party and the underground of parties and dissident spaces has called us together.

Tigre is a project in constant movement, in constant composition; It is malleable and permeable, it is dissidence and resistance, it is support, it is a containment network. Tigre emerges at the party and takes it as a space of resistance.
The importance of being present in public spaces.
In this instance we were part of the Diversity March. We were accompanied in the performance by: Hernan Duplat and Jose Díaz.

TIGRE is the dance floor and the party as a place for the construction of spaces and relational subjectivities.
TIGRE is the dance floor as a place for the liberation and expression of thoughts and political stances.
At set times on set dates, they gather in a specific location and engage in what appears to be a chaotic pantomime, but is, in fact, highly systematized. Through negotiations with the head, the curvature of the spinal column, and the leaning back of the entire body, the grandiose effort of a collective to exorcise itself is openly deciphered. Frantz Fanon / The Wretched of the Earth.
Tigre happens independently of my presence, 'I am not essential for this to occur.' It is a poem about the dance floor, presenting the party as a place previously envisioned, planned, and designed as a contemporary system that, as it unfolds, rubs, rubs against, fills, rushes, and breaks.

Tigre is part of a collective search carried out by various groups in the region, from different groups such as Jadeo, Tienda Rara in Montevideo, Hiedra and ORGIE in Buenos Aires, among others. We take the party as a starting point and position it as a space of resistance.
TIGRE as a practice.
We run the track of place to bring up the same questions that position the party as a space for building bonds, pleasures, exorcisms, collective furies and indestructible networks of love. We go through the transformation of the body together from an experience that we build together; music, vibration, sound, light.
The Tiger Practice is sweat, it is edge, it is rupture, it is party, it is eroticism, it is experience, it is unnameable because it happens by erasing the preconceived, reaffirming at every moment the right to the existence of a free community.
