Carlos Díaz
"Perros," translated as "Dogs", breaks with constructed heteronormative dance conventions. By abusing of movements and body dynamics, commonly associated to masculinity, wether in a male or female body, it questions our ideas of seduction, violence and the gender roles. Like dogs, could you tell which one is male or female from far while they interact in what could be a mating or a fight? a playful seductive dance or a violent exchange of bites? The choreography is set to the voice of Peruvian soprano, Yma Sumac, and her avant-garde style, using music from one of her most internationally recognised albums “Mambo!”.
Carlos Díaz is a Peruvian choreographer based in Frankfurt, Germany. A graduate of Ellison Ballet, a former dancer of The National Ballet of Peru and currently a pupil of Eric Conrad, he has presented his choreographic works in different festivals, art galleries and competitions in Frankfurt, Wiesbaden and Detmold.

ZORROW
Vitality is defined as the state of being strong and active; energy. Through Vitality [the company] our goal is to bring multiple forms of energy and high athleticism to the fusion dance world. We believe in strength and endurance, so what you will witness from our pieces and/or performances is just that.
We will be presenting new work from our recent performance, VIM.
“ZORROW” is based off life looking for life. Feeling deserted, washed up, and strained but determined. It’s the fight to the finish. The athleticism in this piece represents how empowered we are as humans to depend on something or someone else.
