MATADORA
a myth in motion.
MATADORA is a myth-making dance-theater ritual that channels Latinx femme rage into movement, exorcism, and collective resistance. Performers conjure la matadora—an archetype of raw power and transformation—through embodied storytelling that disrupts, liberates, and reclaims.
Currently in development and in search for funding.
