UNA is a performative research project on HIV, based on biographical, biomedical and socio-political issues. Using a dramaturgy based on metaphors and body states, the idea of kintsugi – a Japanese philosophy that values flaws and cracks – is approached through the experience of a body that dances life, revealing other meanings behind the bad weather. It explores processes of bodily transformation and identity driven by living with this virus, reflecting on how these processes can metaphorically illuminate paths for the current moment. UNA talks about changing skin, it talks about a new condition of life. A raw performance that discusses social issues such as discrimination, oppression, paradox, and the resilience of bodies in dialogue with these issues.
