Lucía Giannoni

That Works // Ǫue funcione is a participatory research project in which Lucía Giannoni works with LGBTǪ+ communities and resistance groups outside the mainstream in search of new forms of coexistence. The audience is invited to actively participate in a playful and sensory journey of discovery filled with interactive games and immersive choreographic structures. Together we explore the power of community, the process of decision-making and the meaning of social engagement.

Each performance creates its own unique microcommunity, centered on unpredictability and diversity. Using democratic systems, the project exposes the tension between individuality and cooperation – and celebrates difference, dissidence and anti-hegemony. This is a constantly evolving journey, where each decision leads to a deeper reflection on our social responsibility. Step inside and discover the power of collective action!

Lucía Giannoni is a choreographer, director, dancer, performer, teacher and researcher at the Universidad Nacional de las Artes in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
