CIELOS
When I turned 33 I wanted to go to confession and put an end to the fictive relation between God and myself. I would find a represenant of evangelical power and lay bare my vulnerabilities regarding my attempts to overcome the limits of the heart, the body and language. Like this I would redeem from the need of finding in any kind of beliefs, the answers to the questions I’ve had my whole life.
I bring these confessions on stage to confront the invisible and the power inflicted on bodies by doctrines, with an intention of reinterpreting the foundations of my faith. By taking movement as the primary manifestation of the essential, I seek to come back to the origins by visiting, through imagination, a mythical place that is prior to beliefs and yet full of faith: Serranía del Chiribiquete.
Cielos sheds light on my personal relationship with the divine and faith, to rebuild it on my own terms after destruction.
It calls into the centers of faith and spirituality within me: a mountain, a river, Chiribiquete, my body itself.
