PORDUM | Sofía Ontiveros
PORDUM seeks movement beyond societal binaries through heels and contemporary dance fusion. This piece explores three different personas living within the artist’s body: MASCULINE, FEMININE, and PORDUM.
PORDUM is me. My spirit. Masculine, feminine, non-binary, queer. The sun. The moon. A butterfly. A constant death and rebirth. A co-existence of past, present, and future. Laughing while crying, crying while laughing. A space where memory, shame, power, joy, and grief collide. Unlabeled, uncontained, and unapologetically uncertain.
Embracing intersectionality through different lenses, PORDUM fuses contrasting dance styles, explores gender fluidity, and searches for a new path yet to be named.
MAMI | isi bhakhomen
Mami is a solo performance that challenges the conventions of what we assume about essential and migrant workers. It’s about the people who clean our bathrooms, who maintain public hygiene, whose acts of service give us the freedom to go about our lives, day in and day out.
Drawing inspiration from Victoria Santa Cruz’s spoken word poem, Me gritaron negra, this semi-autobiographical theatrical experience delves into the intergenerational curses between mothers and daughters. Performed primarily in English, this intimate piece explores lineage, healing, and the lived experience of a Black female identity.
