MACHO VARÓN MASCULINO
Documents on dance and masculinities
Macho Varón Masculino is a set of actions that expand at the intersection of performance and documentary–audiovisual installation. It seeks to make visible the issues surrounding different masculinities and dance in Latin America, overflowing the stage itself through a collaborative creation process within the LATAM region, accompanied by encounters for reflection that aim to provoke a tangible, measurable, and documentable change in relation to the issues being addressed.
The project aims to reveal the problem through four main axes: the social-territorial dimension, age groups, archival work, and the relationship between dance and sex-gender dissidences.
The performative lecture, an artwork in itself, is the starting point of this set of actions, in which different masculinities are presented through documentation of national and international dance figures, both in audiovisual format and live.
Some of the actions developed are:
MACHO VARÓN MASCULINO – The Performative Lecture:
As a presentation of the project, it goes through the documentary materials that support it (audio, audiovisual, live): desk research, sketches, reference authors, the thematic axes it traverses, and their possible crossing points.
The Instagram account @machovaronmasculino, where stories and posts related to the axes of this research are regularly uploaded.
Participation in meetings, forums, and conferences.
Prodanza Encounters: Diverse Horizons in Dance
Talk within the Buenos Aires International Festival 2022.
It is about revisiting and sharing, from professional practice, the ways of doing and speaking, of interrogating, and attending to how diversity is reformulated—questioning the concept, its edges, and its limits.
