POR DENTRO
'Por dentro' is a transdisciplinary exploration laboratory focused on contemporary dance and physical theater—a multifaceted and evolving endeavor, offering a realm of infinite possibilities for interpretation by whomever observes it. 'Por dentro' serves as a metaphor for a new worldview in which reality is perceived as unstable, ambiguous, and in a perpetual state of flux.
