Landscapes,
Landscapes of my hometown,
Constantly shaping my body wherever I go,
moving home,  moving me,
Landscapes that remind me
of my mother
Is that home?
Landscapes that are simple, basic,
Nature being just basic,
My dance is basic,
I like basic,
Are you basic?
I love dance because is basic.

Wie werden unsere Körper geformt, je nachdem, wo wir sind? Welchen Teil unseres Landes nehmen wir mit, wenn wir unser Zuhause verlassen? Wo tragen wir unser Zuhause? Wo ist Heimat überhaupt? Von einem auto-ethnographischen Standpunkt aus, der persönliche Geschichten im Zusammenhang mit ihrem chilenischen Aufwachsen offenlegt, verkörperte die Tanzperformance ihre starke Verbindung zu ihrer Mutter und den Landschaften ihres Heimatlandes im Verhältnis zu den Orten, an die sie in den letzten neun Jahren migriert ist

How our bodies are shaped depending on where we are? What part of our land do we carry with us when we leave home? Where do we carry home? Where is home after all? From an auto-ethnographic standpoint that exposes personal stories related to her Chilean upbringing, the dance performance embodied her strong connection with her mother and the landscapes of her home country in relationship to the places she has migrated to the past nine years
