DANSE THEATRE  -  2021

​

AYER (YESTERDAY) IS A DANCE-THEATER PIECE WHOSE CENTRAL THEME IS FEMALE MIGRATION,WHETHER VOLUNTARY OR INVOLUNTARY.

THIS PIECE WAS BORN PRECISELY FROM A SERIES OF INTERVIEWS WITH SEVERAL MIGRANT WOMEN IN COLOMBIA AND VENEZUELA BETWEEN 2019 AND 2020.

​

BASED ON THEIR TESTIMONIES, MARGARITA CREATED A FLEXIBLE DANCE-THEATER STRUCTURE, WITH SOME TIME TO IMPROVISE.

​

BOTH THE SCENOGRAPHIC ELEMENTS AND THE SOUNDTRACK WERE INSPIRED BY THE TEXTILE ART OF THE KUNA CULTURE IN NORTHERN COLOMBIA. THIS ART CONSISTS OF OVERLAPPING FABRIC CUTOUTS WITH DIFFERENT GEOMETRIC DESIGNS. THE OVERLAPPING LAYERS OF FABRIC IN UNIQUE SHAPES REPRESENT THE DIFFERENT LAYERS OF EXPERIENCES ACCUMULATED IN EACH INDIVIDUAL, WHICH, ULTIMATELY, IS WHAT GIVES THEM THEIR IDENTITY AND WISDOM.
