AGITADA is a performance, a set design and a movement score that reflects on the hierarchies that inhabit the body. In it, the movement of hips and ass become an attempt to dialogue with guilt and failure.

AGITADA is hosted by image, as it is also a score for movement. The performance exchanges with an archive of interviews with white people about whiteness, as well as with current research on sacral dances. Working with copying and repetition, the visual archive around the body triggers the potential that resides in spontaneous sparks of movement, transforming and breaking them down.

Knowing that the South of our bodies has been subject to control and punishment, what inhabits the North? How can white Europeans observe their own bodies as territories to analyze? How can we sabotage the structures of movement they compulsively repeat?
