HABITAR LAS FÁBULAS

Description:
Habitar las Fábulas is a series of dance performances inspired by the visual art series Fábulas by Uruguayan artist Fernanda Piñeirua. Through movement, we share women’s stories—of patriarchy, migration, ancestry, community, struggle, union, self-love, and death.

This project is both dialogue and tribute: a collective recomposition of Latin American women’s experiences. From image to gesture, the performances draw symbolic foundations from the Orixas dances of Brazilian Candomblé, the rhythms of Uruguayan candombe, the steps of Argentinian chacarera, and the language of Afro-Latin contemporary dance.
Each body becomes a question, a vessel for memory and resistance, a way of telling what words alone cannot hold. These dances invite the audience into empathy, trusting that the stories of South American women will resonate and echo in their own personal narratives, weaving a sense of shared community.

About Simbólica Cia. de Danza:
Simbólica is a Sudaka Latinafrocontemporary dance company that creates from the symbolic intersections of movement and knowledge. We dance to question what we believe, feel, and think—transforming body and emotion into tools for inquiry where the mind alone cannot reach. Our practice is rooted in regenerating, strengthening, and empowering both personal and collective identity.
