Engaging elements from cueca (Chile’s national dance) and Kathak (A south asian classical dance form), the intercultural piece explores the possibility of code-switching between two movement languages to create smothering unrestrained by the boundaries of each. Bringing cueca and kathak into thoughtful and joyful conversation, thirteen dancers come together as a community in which these two forms exist as gossip and rumour, or ‘copucha’ and gum ‘shup’, that oscillate between polyphonic and cacophony ways.
Choreographers: Arita Bajpeyi and Sebastian Ureamuno
