ENTRECRUZAD@S

In Entrecruzad@, five performers reveal the stigmas that push them towards exclusion. Stigmas that often differentiate people and turn them into objects of contempt or discrimination.
In an aesthetically ideal world, where wellbeing is an obligation and positivity a mandate, a strange figure appears – an outsider, a crack. From that fracture emerge real bodies: imperfect, hybrid, beautiful in their dissonances. Bodies that do not fit the norm, that have no homeland, that do not conform to fixed gender identities, that carry the weight of prejudice.
Through movement, rhythm, voice, silence and breath, these five performers construct a living score about uprootedness, identity, exclusion and the possibility of community. It is not about telling a single story, but embodying many. Each body speaks from its scars. Each gesture becomes a border or a refuge. Each action, an act of poetic resistance.
Entrecruzad@S opens questions like wounds. Questions about the body I inhabit, the place I occupy, the gaze that defines me, and the desire to belong without ceasing to be who I am.
