Festival Internacional de Danza Contemporánea de Uruguay 2015

Uruguay’s international contemporary dance festival is a project aimed at independent artists and cultural managers and held annually in Montevideo. Its main purpose is to bring the local community of contemporary dancers into contact with foreign creators and their works, to promote exchanges between institutions and to give rise to spaces for reflection based around the creation of dance. 

AC/E is supporting the presence at the fourth festival of the dancer Aimar Pérez, who is presenting his piece Sudando el discurso (Sweating the discourse). To quote the dancer, ‘at this presentation I will speak about the dancer as a subject of subalternity; I will speak about how a dancer’s training seeks to produce a body- machine that requires no discourse: I  propose that this is one of the main agents of the dancer’s condition of subalternality; I will speak about my body as an archive or a living document; I will affirm: my body is my thesis; I will speak about the fetishization of the dancer’s body; I will speak about how the discourse of dance is not legitimised through practice but through the audience who observes and analyses it, and the problems this entails. And I can do all this because I am a dancer, and my practice, or my discourse, both physical and theoretical, passes through this body, which sweats and speaks’.
