An abstract decor with tensioned cables, a sound design for pre-colonial instruments and a powerful group choreography… The first large-scale dance work from the activist performance artist Lukas Avendaño is a memorable poetic journey. Fourteen dancers and an actress depict the origins of all life founded on female symbolism from Mexican culture. Based on the snake that gives birth to itself, the lemniscate and symbol of infinity, Avendaño creates a tribute to femininity and to the queer muxe community in Mexico. These people fulfil a complex social role in the Zapotec culture. They are men with female values and behaviours, in contrast to the Mexican macho man. Avendaño creates a reflection on this muxe community, their sexuality, eroticism and the tension that surrounds it. LEMNISKATA shows humans in all their nakedness and vulnerability, whilst at the same time being a powerful female resistance to a world full of violence and exploitation.
