Lo que puede el cuerpo

"The words fall, 

covering the floor

none of them is reserved for anyone

Lovers meet without looking at each other

  Their bodies are cut to fit according to the consumer's taste

And instead of waiting for me, 

you went off dancing. 

living the rhythm in unison surrendering to the moment 

when I don't have you..."

Lo que puede el cuerpo is a performative piece marked by gender violence. The performer recites verses while being rocked on a mobile surface. Her body is moved by a hand controlling the surface with a rope. In the swaying of being picked up and propelled, words fall and questions resonate: What can a body bear in return of love?"
