No Controles

Explores the dual nature of movement as both a source of pure joy and a site of tension where bodies are socially categorized and defined. Inspired by the experience of pleasure, the work critically examines how societal expectations seek to confine and label the performers, shaping their presence on stage. The piece reflects on the complex reality of embodying desire within frameworks that attempt to control and limit expression. It challenges these constraints by reclaiming pleasure as an act of resistance and self-definition. At its core, NO CONTROLES investigates the interplay between freedom and restriction, inviting a reconsideration of identity beyond imposed boundaries.
