Fire Drilling; Te Amo Robusto performance by Marcela Torres

Marcela Torres will perform Fire Drilling, a choreographic work that investigates the evolution of Latin-American social dance in parallel with significant cigar production sites. This performance endeavors to create a hybrid ritual using known cultural tools of dance and cigar smoke to tell an intricate story of colonization, genocide, U.S. intervention, and continual displacement. The INVERSE Performance Art Digital Festival 2020, hosted by the Momentary, is a three-day digital festival presenting a series of performance works and conversations with artists working in material, movement, and time-based practices.
