The Artwork: The Union
The Union is a celebration, a social dance and an experience in different public spaces in the capital. For two hours, a group of DJs, musicians, artists and actors will make the public dance. Through free dancing, alone or in groups, a union is produced, and for a moment we forget all division, and we celebrate difference and diversity. In The Union we connect with each other, we feel part of an identity and one greater community.
Work Group
La Unión is Sandra Araya, Xoana Baz, Ana Corbalán, Luis Corvalán, Cristina Gómez Penna, Moisés Hazan, Raúl Hott, Sofía Hott, Joaquín Juricic, Benedicto López y Andrés Zanetta.
