Désirée 0100

Welkom op het verjardagsfeest! In La fiesta de delfina, two masked figures welcome you to a party. They perform an alienating mix of dance and clownery in a fragmented, somber and at times grotesque narrative.

Through themes of celebration, party and the absence of loved ones, the duo question the position of performers and “entertainment” – either in a European black box, or at a birthday party in a garage in Latin America. Désirée Cerocien and Luis Miguel Ramirez Munoz both emigrated from Latin America to Europe and immersed themselves in contemporary dance here. With this piece, they want to open the dialogue around their dual culture/identity and reflect on what the evolution of and links between urban culture, dance and institutional art might look like.
