Thank you @papayafest (Bristol, UK) for opening the space to meet and create together with @tim_lytc (HK/香港) "Tides of Translation", a 15-minute composition developed in less than 48 hours, which allowed us to connect with the deepest parts of our hearts. It was an honor to share fragments of our stories through art and to premiere the piece at @thewardrobetheatre , doing what we love most. ___________ Gracias @papayafest por abrir la oportunidad de conocer y crear junto a @tim_lytc "Tides of Translation", una composición de 15 minutos desarrollada en menos de 48 horas de trabajo, que nos permitió conectar con lo más profundo de nuestros corazones. Fue un honor compartir fragmentos de nuestras historias a través del arte y estrenar la obra en @thewardrobetheatre , haciendo lo que más amamos.

"Tides of Translation" es un composición que hicimos con @tim_lytc (HK/香港) para el @papayafest (UK, Bristol), con estreno en @thewardrobetheatre . Trabajamos a partir de la idea de que el océano Pacífico era un punto de unión entre nuestras dos culturas. El agua como vientre materno, como el útero que nos parió. La primera parte de la obra gesta el cuerpo. Después empieza a construir la etapa del crecimiento: aprender a mirar, a hablar, a tocar, a oler y a caminar de nuevo. A la mitad se aventura en el viaje, hasta que llega a una ciudad (como Bristol o Buenos Aires), donde todo comienza a moverse muy rápido, muy fuerte, muy duro. Espacio de llegada, choque y transformación. Hasta que el cuerpo se repliega, y vuelve a recordar el origen que lo vio nacer. Tim me compartió lullabies tradicionales y audios en cantonés, y yo usé el piano, SFX's e influencias de la música andina para construir toda la narrativa sonora que llenó el guión que escribimos. ______ "Tides of Translation" for @papayafest , premiered at @thewardrobetheatre . With @tim_lytc we took the Pacific Ocean as a point of connection between our two realities — a maternal womb, the place that gave us birth. The first part of the piece explores the rebirth of the migrant body: learning again how to see, to touch, to smell, and to walk. Using lullabies and recordings in Tim’s native language as triggers, the work traces the journey of an artist whose destination becomes a city — such as Bristol or Buenos Aires — a site of arrival, friction, and transformation. Musically, the composition weaves rhythms and melodies that echo both the Andean sounds of northern Chile and the traditional music of Hong Kong.

“Tides of Translation” was conceived and built in 48 hours as part of international @papayafest (Bristol, UK), and premiered at @thewardrobetheatre . @tim_lytc (HK/香港) and I connected through our shared migrant experiences (we're from Chile & Hong Kong), using sound and movement to tell the story of a migrating body. It was an intense, challenging, and deeply beautiful process, where we discovered we shared more than we had ever expected. Because sometimes words fail, music and dance speak for us. ______ “Tides of Translation” fue creada y montada en 48 horas dentro del festival internacional @papayafest (Bristol, UK). Con @tim_lytc nos conectamos desde nuestro lugar de migrantes (somos de Chile y Hong Kong) y decidimos crear, a través del sonido y el movimiento, una historia sobre el viaje del cuerpo que migra. En el proceso, descubrimos que compartíamos mucho más de lo que imaginábamos. Fue una carrera intensa y desafiante —de dormir poco y trabajar bajo presión— pero profundamente hermoso. Porque a veces las palabras fallan, el cuerpo y la música hablan por nosotros. ..... En lo personal, esta obra me atraviesa de tal manera que creo que nunca me parecerá vieja. Quien migra sabe que hay que aprender a caminar, hablar y moverse de nuevo. Vuelves a nacer, pero ya no bajo el cobijo de tu familia o de tu círculo más íntimo de amistades. Dejas atrás tus seguridades para embarcarte en una ruta que cobra sentido, al menos en mi caso, cuando estás en línea con tu propósito... o cuando vuelves a encontrar esa dulce calidez que te arropaba en casa cuando conocías el mundo por primera vez.

We start with Tim, a Chinese human dancing playfully and gracefully furst in a traditional black silk feminine Chinese dress, then in a black crop top with a rainbow unicorn and text that reads "Screams in G@y ". They perform a pirouette and a final hop in the air and when the music track drops, we cut to a full crowd dancing on stage. Qu33rs of all gender expressions move freely and interract with smiles and love. Ivicore, a masc Latinx DJ with a white cap and face tattoos and piercings, moves behind the decks and interracts with the camera. Cut to close ups of dancers dancing together, short haircuts, crop tops, binders, chests out, sweat and heat. The overall energy is outrageous beauty.] • #SoftButch #queer #queerartist #dance #queerasian #queerdance #queerjoy #asianartist #bristolartist #cabaret #drag #performer #queernightlife
