del corazón nace el enjambre is a virtual retelling of the tale(s) of la cucaracha. Activating the cockroach as a time-traveling hemispheric avatar, this practice interweaves stories of self-metamorphosis, resistance and revolution to wonder how attuning to a theoretical brown commons might expand possibilities of freedom.

As the third installment of an iterative performance practice, this performance project both lives inside of and creates a digital ofrenda, which collects dance, text, images and objects to bring forth a feminist, queer offering for the future.
