zwinger x ruiseñor (mockingbird)
Dance performance about neurodiversity by Julián Lazzaro and the DTH
Zwinger 1
»Ruiseñor« is a choreographic project that approaches the subject of autism through the body, language and individual perception, taking a look at the communication gap between society and the members of this group. The piece was created by dancer and choreographer Julián Lazzaro, who was diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome -an autism spectrum disorder (ASD)- at the age of nine. Based on his kinesthetic perception of the world and autism-derived stereotypes, Julián Lazzaro uses different artistic means on stage, such as movements, sounds, voices and objects. We encounter a body that, after collapsing, embarks on a journey of self-knowledge; a reflection on man's constant search for overcoming and wholeness through the enigma of autism.
This event will be held only in English.
