Brazilian dance and performance professionals, previously selected by resumé analysis, participate in a residency with Argentinean Edgardo Mercado, who shares with the group the research, reflection and experimentation work undertaken for the creation of the performative installation Topologías para cuerpos infinitamente inconquistables. Some of the participants will be invited to join the Argentinean show.
