ABOUT CONCUERPOS
ConCuerpos is an inclusive dance company with a dual presence in Colombia (2009) and the Netherlands (2023) working with artist with and without disabilities in artistic, educational, and research projects. Rooted in a strong political commitment, ConCuerpos works to dismantle barriers to participation, challenge conventional notions of dance, and contribute new ethics and aesthetics to the socio-cultural landscape.
ABOUT FOCARIS
This dance performance explores fire as a symbol of encounter, transformation, and inner strength. FOCARIS is crafted as a dialogue between the collective and the personal where each performer, with or without a disability, reveals their own “inner fire” through movement, sound, and visual storytelling.
Developed under the principle of Universal Accessibility, the project integrates sign language and creative audio description directly into its dramaturgy. This allows people with visual and hearing disabilities to experience the performance autonomously, while creating an enriched aesthetic experience for the audience as a whole.
