Production Details / Press Releases
DFORMADXS arises as a result of the question: do we really know our bodies or do we accept the identity we have/have been given?
We present a “dissident being” where she/he will experience throughout her/his journey and development a construction of herself/himself. Becoming aware of all the construction/manipulation that the hegemonic, patriarchal system exerts on her mind and body. A mutable and perfomatic matter that will (de)form and (de)construct itself anew.
Nisham is a hybrid urban dance company formed by different groups of performers, directed by Nia Torres, with its own scenic language at the disposal of the projects that the company undertakes.
