RESEARCH

The performance centers in exploring movement and light in a queer black body, deconstructing this body using it as a source of light, as a bender of time and space, as a signification and amplification of guerilla and gambiarra (quick-fix) as creative platforms. As a result of the initial part of my research, a suit of light was developed (still in a prototype spectrum). With this suit, the exploration of my body, how it moves, what it illuminates and how it resonates with the influence of the sound produced by Gadutra. The action develops itself on how this body can move with all these layers that permeate a body intersected by race, queerness, gender terrorist, migration and transness, as well as a body who works mainly with the technical aspect of a spectacle, what can it do and how can it create when they are the one "on stage” shedding light around itself. What is explored during the performance is the body, the movement, the light, the sound and the way it can occupy and fill the space that surrounds all these influences.

A body. A body with lights. A body with light that shines, that reflects. A body with lights, that shines, that reflects that emanates, that trans-mits/meats. A body that attaches and plays. A body that, shyly, exposes itself, that lights itself but also and firstly hides itself so it can give light. A body that with giving light, illuminates itself, alucinates itself. And dances.

How to illuminate with the light that comes from my body? How do I put myself so as to shed light on what surrounds me?

From a gambiartistic construction, uniting light and performance, moving with/inside a suit contaminated with mundane sounds.

Dedicated to all queer people that for some reason and at some moment felt unwanted in the materiality of this existence.
