Cicatrices, by the company Tierra de Leyendas, portrays the socio-cultural and environmental changes experienced by Afro-Colombian communities through the language of dance. Combining theatricality and the expressive plasticity of the dancer-actor, the performance is woven together with music to tell deeply emotional stories.
It delves into the joys and sorrows, loves and heartbreaks, and moments of profound resilience that define the collective memory of these communities. Through dynamic choreography and poignant storytelling, Cicatrices becomes a tribute to the struggles and triumphs of Afro-Colombian heritage, embodying the scars (cicatrices)—both physical and emotional—that have shaped their history and identity. This piece invites the audience to reflect on the enduring strength and cultural richness of a people whose stories resonate beyond their own borders, leaving an indelible mark on society as a whole.
