Descripción de la Exposición

In collaboration with Debit, Liina Magnea, Cucina Povera, Lucy Railton and the Pueri Cantores boys’ choir of the Conservatoire de la Ville de Luxembourg Curated by Clémentine Proby, assisted by Julie Kohn Envisioned as a space of mutable symphonies, Aguas Frescas is a major new performance by Mexican artist Bárbara Sánchez-Kane, co-commissioned by Mudam and TONO Festival. Premiered in Mexico City in March 2025, this performance will be presented as part of Luxembourg Museum Days. Drawing on Mexican street culture and the tradition of aguas frescas—fruit drinks commonly sold by street vendors—the performance proposes an expanded definition of poetry as a communal, durational and sensorial act. Conceived as a “poetry fountain,” the piece features contributions from the artist’s circle of collaborators and friends. Over two hours, dancers, musicians and performance artists share their work in a fluid, shifting sequence. Two sculptural objects anchor the piece: traditional Mexican chairs called Malinche carrying glass containers of fresh horchata. A metallic spoon stirs the liquid, setting a steady rhythm like a metronome. Visitors are invited to partake in the aguas frescas during the performance, underscoring its metaphor of shared experience and collective engagement. Evolving across geographies and disciplines, Aguas Frescas embodies Sánchez-Kane’s hybrid practice and Mudam’s ongoing exploration of collaborative, cross-cultural production.
