FULGOR

Home - About us - News - Luis Guenel - Fulgor

«Fulgor» is the glow bodies emit, their marks, their tracks. The show is a patchwork of experiences human beings in motion have lived. Human beings that are between one Southern country and another, between the known land and the desirable one. It tells the story of persecuted people who live at night, of refugees packed in camps, of the despised, cursed, and undocumented ones who live hidden. It is the story of a changing world, a natio-international story that is pushed to the background so as to be less disturbing.


«Migration» is usually defined as a linear movement between a departure and an arrival destination resulting in border crossing. It is known however that migration does not concern only bodies. To migrate also implies to move objects, to change identities, to use one’s labor force, to be over-exploited, to become vulnerable. Fulgor is asking the following: how do migrants experience movements ? How do movements translate in one’s personal cartography ? Since when has the other become dangerous ?


Human beings and animals have long moved freely while looking for meeting each other, changing or building countries in their own languages. By doing so, they have drawn territories in their own bodies. Fulgor is composed of intimate stories, at the forbidden crossroads of invisible lines. Stage is built as heaven, mythic lands or imaginary worlds where one can become the person one has always dreamed to be. Intentionally of forced, bodies that have too few opportunities are faced with uprooting, celebrations, love, and solitude.
