Festival Dansa Metropolitana
Symphony of the Seas is a pathetically unstable transvestite rehearsing a great scandal. Treading the line between reality and fiction, Symphony surrenders her body to her ultimate fantasies, creating melodramatic and viscerally charged scenes: to thrill is an act of dissidence. Symphony is a body that transitions in its own hysteria while promising a great show that never arrives.
Symphony of the Seas is a study in the construction of language with hybrid tools that come from dance and performance as well as from transvestite practice and identity; an emotional study of the love and violence that the trans-female body receives.
