71BODIES 1DANCE has been presented, both nationally and internationally in more than 30 cities and is still on tour. The project in its entirety is a multidisciplinary choreographic initiative made in collaboration with the late photography artist Mar C Llop and filmmaker Ursula Kaufmann. The work focuses on bringing visibility, awakening curiosity and generating knowledge about the transgender community. Highlighting the great diversity that exists within every personal journey, 71BODIES 1DANCE approaches the community complexities from a human level- through an artistic work.
