Colombian-born Berlin-based choreographer and performer Luisa Fernanda Alfonso inhabits and vocalises the archetypal gestures of character dancers and Mexican mariachis in a sequential black-and-white performance. In collaboration with composer Peter Rubel, she treats sound material as a full creative partner, building and unpicking vocal and choreographic traditions. The piece blends dance, music and song with emblematic gestures and costumes from Latin American cultures to probe questions of tradition, identity, freedom and the act of creation.
