Los Perros

The dogs wander, find each other, recognize themselves as vulnerable. They share joy, but also pain; they fall and get up; they dance and rebel, searching together for the meaning of their own lives.

The piece is an exploration of the fragility of the human body and the isolating effects of digital-era life. It seeks to represent a generation burdened by crisis and desensitization, using the animalistic, primal imagery of dogs wandering, surviving and connecting through empathy, compassion and love.

Los Perros finds its purest meaning in repetition and catharsis: dancing until exhaustion, barking until the last breath, living until you drop.

Two men dancing until it's all over and everything starts again.
