Blue
August 2020
I want to dive in all the seas of the world.
Open my eyes inside
and see these million blues
dancing in front of me
with me.
This eternal blue.
For all the moments i am inside it
I am part of nature itself
and I am calm
like I am floating in a mother's womb.
The womb of the mother of all mothers.
And for these few moments
I feel eternal.
Black Lives Matter
June 2020
Black is a colour.
Skin is just skin.
It is not a sign of danger.
Your mind is danger.
It thinks you are superior.
Your eyes are danger.
They are blinded with hatred.
Your body is danger.
It suffocates people.
You are danger.
You are angry and stupid,
and you are spreading death.
Quarantine Thoughts
In a world that is threatened and scared, what is the point of creating dance.
What
Is
The
Point
?
The assurance that the body is still alive?
That it is still sensing and it is fierce and soft and curious. That it responds to music and plays with music and creates music. That its flesh can still transform to retell the stories and change the stories and create new ones. And maybe that it doesn't drown. Not even in a sea of viruses and bad decisions. It floats instead.
Back to the shore and back to its rhythm.
Maybe that's the point.

About Dance
December 2017
Dance is stories.
Stories of the past. A secret past. A nostalgic past.
Stories of the future. A future of potentials and surprises.
Stories of the now, of the moment, of the reality and the illusion, of that which lies in between the past and the future; your sorrows, your desires, your regrets, your state of mind. Life is a state of mind. The tongue fails to narrate and movement takes over. Some stories can only be told through the body. They pierce the body with the desire to be touched, to lose gravity, to transform, to vibrate, to explode and BOOM! Your body shatters in million pieces. You levitate. You fall down. You gather the pieces. You play with them as if they are pieces of a puzzle. You explode again. And again. And again. You let your body die for some seconds and then bring it back to life. Your body opens to the space, you float, you fly, you hit the ground. You let the story unravel in you and through you. You let the story kill you and revive you. You let the story take over you.
Until you become the story.
