Age & Beauty Part 3: DANCER or You can make whatever the fuck you want but you’ll only tour solos or The Powerful People or We are strong/We are powerful/We are beautiful/We are divine or &:’//
Age & Beauty Part 3: DANCER… is the third and culminating chapter of the series. Performed by Gutierrez along with an intergenerational cast whose immediate physical representation is not “dancer,” the piece is an opportunity to envision a new future dripping with lamentation, aspiration, melancholy, fantasy and doubt - a choreography for the end of the world.
