Daniela Ortiz
The root you pulled out is not a hole in my land, it is a tunnel – performance
On 20 November at 6.30 pm, 7.15 pm, and 8 pm, Daniela Ortiz will present her latest performance The root you pulled out is not a hole in my land, it is a tunnel, the latest chapter in an ongoing project which employs the languages of traditional children’s theater and puppet shows.
Through an exploration of the subterranean—physical and metaphorical—as a place of life and death, as a site for refuge and one where those in power repeatedly banish opposition, the artist will suggest an alternative history made up of forced silencing and underground struggle.
The buried anti-colonial and anti-imperialist histories of the 20th century were in fact seeds and the roots they generated give life to the protagonists of Ortiz’s tale of resistance.
