​

A body leaves its familiar shore and steps into the invisible.
In the turbulence of displacement, the senses unfurl, searching for a new sky to decipher.
Dance becomes the passage—an unraveling, a weaving of uprooted roots learning, step by step, to dream another horizon.

​

Memory of a Body Through Time is a choreographic work where bodies and the materiality of domestic objects, chairs, a collapsible table, a laundry line—enter into dialogue with an expansive soundscape and an evocative industrial design. Together, they create a living terrain that probes the possibility of healing collective and individual trauma through acts of joy, transformation, autonomy, and solidarity.

​

This piece unfolds as a tapestry of ensemble constellations and intimate solo inquiries, sculpted by stark, poetic lighting that exposes what the body remembers across time. The research is anchored in the entanglement of place, body, memory, and the vast territories, both physical and metaphysical, that shape them. Here, time is not a measure but a force: something that acts on us, through us, and sometimes for us.

​

Guided by Yesenia Fuentes’ values of radical softness, risk, collaboration, and resilience, the piece centers humanity and depth. It celebrates beauty in simplicity, connection as a lifeline, and community as both resistance and joy.

​

Memory of a Body Through Time invites audiences into a space where gestures hold stories, silence becomes testimony, and the body discovers its capacity to dream a future beyond its wounds.
