PERREO ENTRE LOS MUNDOS examines reggaetón as a cultural force, tracing its origins and its resonance with racialized bodies while interrogating the power structures that have influenced its evolution. Through a duet between human flesh and a silicone form, the piece oscillates between pleasure, distortion and transformation, exploring cracks and butts. PERREO ENTRE LOS MUNDOS dismantles colonial binaries by reimagining a drag king persona into a multifaceted, fluid figure.

Drawing on Gloria Anzaldúa’s concept of “almas entre dos mundos” – souls navigating between multiple worlds – the work intertwines this shapeshifting notion with the liberatory potential of reggaetón and the perreo style of dance. PERREO ENTRE LOS MUNDOS highlights this dance form’s capacity to empower, subvert, and forge new identities and realities unbound by colonial legacies of culture and gender. By embracing fluidity, hybridity, contradiction and introspection, the piece opens a portal to perspectives and worlds beyond the confines of Western frameworks and invites the audience to engage with the complexities of gazes, entitlement and privilege.
