Amatismo is created as a result of the invitation on behalf of the Compañía Juvenil de Danza UNAM (Youth Dance Company), directed by Andrea Chirinos.

Amatismo is a work about a group of people that are bound in compositions juxtaposed with performative dynamics, spaces and bodies molded by fanatism. They build fictions, as well as personal and collective relations, their rapid expansion shivers under the threshold of cycles and orgiastic structures. They believe in a digital and universal language, they speak of their home (body) in their own timeless platforms, created in a deeply immersed feeling.

This piece was thought out to be premiered before a live audience and was in the process of being debuted when it was interrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Therefore, a new plan was thought up to modify it's premiere and ultimately resulted in an alternative presentation format, with a sneak peek look into the working process for digital content platforms. Said premiere will take place June 6, 2020 at 20:00 hrs (Mexico City Time) via the Facebook Page of Danza UNAM (National Autonomous University of Mexico). Within the framework of the Dance Saturdays Cycle | Stay Home we are abiding the recommendation given by the WHO if possible, please stay home and enjoy this invitation to watch and dance to the premiere of Amatismo by staying safely home.
