Bocas de oro
In 2019, during the uprising against the government in Santiago de Chile, Marcela Santander Corvalán witnessed a memorable scene: hundreds of protesters taking turns to tap in rhythm on the metal surface of a building with bits of paving stone prised off the pavements. The resonant experience aroused the choreographer’s imagination and she began to consider the history of the stones and the stories they might tell. The pre-Columbian legend according to which the millennial monolith Puerta del Sol (Gate of the Sun) in Bolivia contains a secret left hidden to help save future humanity from trouble. How do we travel through time and space to listen to stones? How is mythology created today? Bocas de oro is an invitation to look for fictive knowledge, in order to ward off the action of reduction that the oppression operates, to imagine ways of collective resistance, and to invent powers of the small and the tender.
