In search of identity and queer sexuality in a sci-fi world

'Flesh can’t can’ t not’t ‘tis flesh h…’ is a multisensory performance by the Costa Rican-Nicaraguan artist Mario Barrantes Espinoza.

We enter a sci-fi world set to the rhythms of reggaeton and the urban dance perreo. Two burning bodies guide us through the landscapes of a strange world, taking us on an exploration of identity and queer history from the perspective of a Central American migrant in Europe.

Espinoza moved to Brussels years ago to pursue training at P.A.R.T.S. under choreographer Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker. In the meantime, he has contributed to productions by artists such as François Chaignaud, Théo Mercier, Benjamin Abel Meirhaeghe, Peaches, and The Subs. In his own work, he intertwines performance, visual poetry, and music with pop culture and mainstream media.
