Choreographers Oscar Naters (Lima, Peru) and Ana Zavala (Lima, Peru) will research and develop a new interdisciplinary creation based on Andean syncretism and the persistence of Peruvian myths. They will build bridges between the initial experience of miscegenation of the past and the perceptual experience of the present as a constant revision of the reality in which we live.
