Descripción de la Exposición

A choreographic action that reinterprets the Dance of the Quetzals, one of the few ceremonial dances that survived the evangelization of Mesoamerica and is still performed in the Nahua-Totonaca region. This piece provides a synthesis of the dance, eliminating its bright colors and festive movements, instead centering on the greeting to the four cardinal directions and the essential gesture of respect and gratitude underlying the reverence performed by the two dancers. Of the original colors of the headdresses, only the white, black and one red line have been preserved, alluding to blood and life. Reverence is based on the narrative, symbolic and acoustic contents of traditional Mexican dances, filmed and translated into new choreographies. This piece responds to an interest in the conservation of cultural memory through the recuperation and reinterpretation of traditions, rituals, materials, and clothing.
