IN THE BODY’S MEMORY
A memory arrived by itself; there are those who call it coincidence. It happened 75 years ago, at an elementary school in Tacubaya. The young choreographer was experimenting with untrained bodies and a musical about Dutch dolls and Hungarian dances. This previously unknown story is fascinating, highlighting everything on the margins of the archives, expanding the imagination of those who, as they are, are still covered in dust, in memory of the bodies. She asks about those other bodies that, conscious or unconsciously, in some way, even now are moved by her. An exceptional encounter of bodies, conditions, and memories, reunited to invoke an homage, in a multifaceted and heterogenous relation of potentials and intensities.
