Tamara Cubas (UY)

Contemporary Dance

 "Acte 2 – To Resist" is the second part of Tamara Cubas’ anthropophagic trilogy. During one hour, over 1500 wooden planks are scattered to illustrate the unstable ground in a state of emergency. The vibrations emitted by the unsteady surface strengthen resistance, as portayed by the trance-like states of five dancers and a dog.

The Cimarron is a dog breed that fled back into the wild after being domesticated during the conquest that birthed modern-day Uruguay. These six beings symbolize a new communal way of life free from any superior authority. Acte 2 is a means of resisting the commercialization of our emotions and our bodies, as well as opposing the institutionalization and the hierarchization of human relationships.
