Summer Intensive Performance Project 2021

JULY 2021

"Contigo" emerged as the zenith of a performance art odyssey in the heart of New York City, a poignant exploration into the transient affections we cultivate amidst the city's ceaseless motion—on subways, in bars, through academic halls, and beyond. This project delved into the quintessential New York narrative of serendipitous encounters, of fleeting connections made in the blink of an eye, and the rare, enduring bonds that outlast the momentary glances and half-spoken conversations. Yet, when the curtain fell and the lights dimmed, it was he, my husband, who remained—the steadfast heart amidst a sea of passing faces.

Inspired by the lyrical journey of "Contigo Aprendí," this endeavor was not just a performance but a homage to the art of learning to love, to find, amidst the vastness of the city, that one person who transforms fleeting glances into a lifetime of shared glances. "Contigo" was not just an exploration of chance encounters but a celebration of the enduring love that grows from the most unexpected of meetings.
