From 2017 I realized my first decolonizing-silent-walk-performative city tour URBAN BODIES PROJECT. This was invited to the international festival THEATER DER WELT. Afterwards, this project was invited to Amsterdam, to the international dance festival JULIDANS, and to Stuttgart, to the festival DIE IRRITIERTE STADT. Later, the project DECOLONYCITIES followed in Hamburg in 2019 and 2021. Both will be supervised by a diverse and international team under the new platform founded by myself called SHAPE THE FUTURE."

URBAN BODIES PROJECT-MUNICH

Choreographer Yolanda Gutiérrez works with local dancers in various cities across Germany and around the world to create decolonial performative audio walks in the form of dance interventions in public spaces. Together, they explore each city’s colonial past through dance, historical facts, personal biographies and interviews. Equipped with headphones, the audience listens to the audio recordings from station to station and experiences a reinterpretation of history through site-specific physical interventions in public spaces, which come alive and take on a tangible presence.

The Mexican-German choreographer Yolanda Gutiérrez has already presented the URBAN BODIES PROJECT in Hamburg, Stuttgart, Amsterdam, Munich, Mexico City, Guadalajara and Kigali, working alongside local dancers and artists.
Together with the dancers, the audience embarks on a performative audio walk through various sites of remembrance in the respective city. In the process, colonial entanglements and the audience’s own personal histories converge.
