Colombian artist Luisa Fernanda Alfonso brings to life the archetypal postures of Mexican character dancers and mariachis in this sequential black-and-white performance. With her Madonna-like face framed by a strict bun, her haughty demeanor, and her back arched proudly as she stands in clicking ankle boots, she blends the feminine and the masculine—flowing ruffles and a form-fitting leotard—giving folklore a twist through her polarizing interpretation. In collaboration with composer Peter Rubel, in a space where the soundscape is a full-fledged partner in the performance, Luisa Fernanda Alfonso seizes upon and then lets go of, builds up and then deconstructs vocal and choreographic traditions.
