violetas is an intimate dance piece where one exists and resists in a minimalist environment. It presents the dancing body as unique and self-sufficient.

Set in an environment that recreates a space of intimacy and reflection, it creates universes of malleability, complexity, and subjectivity, inviting reflection on margins, centers, and the spaces in between. What we project and what we presume.
