CRUCE, is the physical story of a “transformation”, in the sense of a transition, a migration, and a crossing, at the intersection between Paul B. Preciado’s queer theory and the thought of movement in urban voguing dance.

Starting from voguing, a dance of protest of the Black and Latino LGBTQI+ community, created as a reaction against racism and discrimination, CRUCE questions the processes of transformation of the body and the possibilities to free it from social constraints.

Through a physical transformation on stage, the bodies of the 5 dancers emancipate and free themselves to become subjective, sexual and sensual bodies, liberated from racial and sexual symbolic systems produced by our societies.

In his new creation, Marcos Arriola celebrates the dancefloor as a meeting place and a space for claiming our subjectivities. He pushes us to question our identity. The body is political, a strategic place to revolutionize the norms of sexuality, gender and race.
