71BODIES 1DANCE
Daniel Mariblanca |
Dancer and choreographer Daniel Mariblanca made big waves at Boulevard 2017 with his uncompromising solo WOMAN, in which he showed us how his male and female sides bleed into each other. For some years now Daniel, who is a transman, has been searching for bodies whose relationship with sex and gender is less than obvious. To phrase the difference succinctly: sex is about biology, gender about how you feel and express yourself.
In Norway, Sweden, Spain, Denmark and Italy, Daniel found 71 transgenders. 71BODIES 1DANCE is a multifaceted project – dance, film, photography – inspired by their personal stories and experiences. Poetic, probing and of great social and political significance. In October the project premieres in Bergen, at OktoberDans Festival; you can see a preview at Boulevard.
