Malinche embodies the complexity of hybrid identity, a space where cultures meet and merge - blending understanding, knowledge, connection, and power into a rich and wondrous whole. “Neither sun nor snow, neither here nor there - just threads of new knowledge, braided into the roots of being"
Malinche is a utopian landscape woven from wool, where everyone is welcome, regardless of background, race or origins. A stage piece with three performers and a lot of wool that creates an alternative world. Through feral, animalistic movement and an immersive soundscape, Malinche seeks to craft a mysterious space where different creatures encounter one another.
