About the Event

A performance about aging and the weight of being human. Performed by Esther Gamez-Rubio, Martha Rolón de la Peña, Wilfrido Terrazas, and Ivan Trujillo.

This extended collaborative work explores the evolving nature of the body—how it ages, expands, and transforms. Inspired by the writings of philosopher Jean-Luc Nancy, the performance unfolds as a corporeal meditation on identity, form, and the limits of physical being. Each performer—including Gámez Rubio, Martha Rolón de la Peña (clarinet/saxophone), Iván Trujillo Luna (trumpet), and Wilfrido Terrazas (flute)—offers a solo improvisation before coming together in a final group performance that blends sound, movement, projection, and textile. The result is part concert, part ritual: a deeply felt and intimate encounter with the body—its beauty, its strangeness, and its constant transformation.
