MANIFESTO

A quintet of bodies summons the spirit of subcultures and transforms a public space into a stage for collective fervour. In this ephemeral celebration, bodies intertwine in a ritual of escape and resistance. MANIFESTO is a monument to rebellion, a tribute to those who found refuge in the intensity of the moment. This piece is a site-specific excerpt from the stage work MONUMENT, winner of the 2025 Butaca Award for Best Choreography.
