This performance is ruled by principles of circularity and incompleteness, revealing an endlessly shapeshifting figure that crosses various dreamscapes. An oracular figure embodying three facets or unfoldings: "feminine divinity, feminine ferocity and feminine transgression*", in which lightness, the macabre, the unknown and the subterranean combine and merge to create a place in-between. This work follows on her last solo project, "the beast, the moons" in which she enunciates through gestures and sounds a possible representation of the political geography of a non-submissive body.

*Kristen J. Sollee, defining the concept of "witch" in Witches, Sluts, Feminists: Conjuring the Sex Positive

She is active in multidisciplinary and collaborative contexts, mostly in the fields of dance and performance, occasionally working with cinema and visual arts. She claims each body as an autonomous and singular space, seeking to be close to an intimacy state, and therefore emancipation, though always inside a network of paradoxes. Something indelibly linked to the concern (and urgency) to give voice to a personal, political and social activism. She is currently part of the APNEIA COLECTIVA.
