TRÁFICO (CUBA)
From reflections about the crossings of power and domination that an individual goes through in a society of control, four dancers created the performance Traffic for the Festival Habana Vieja Ciudad in Movimiento in Cuba.
“The body is also directly immersed in a political field; power relations have an immediate effect on him; they invest him, mark him, direct him, beg him, subject him to work, force him to ceremonies, demand signals from him. This political investment of the body is linked, according to complex and reciprocal relations, to its economic use; it is, in a good proportion, as a force of production that the body is invested by relations of power and domination; but in return his constitution as a labor force is only possible if he is trapped in a system of subjection (where necessity is also a carefully organized, calculated and used political instrument); the body only becomes a useful force if it is both a productive body and a submissive body. ”(Focault.1987)
