Description

The materiality of the body and the variety of conditions it can bear and generate are the central focus of the choreographic research of Lina Gómez and her collaborators. With a precious and unique dialogue between movement, music and light, »A Passo di Mulo« creates a vibrating landscape of earth, togetherness and persistence.

Today I wander with a fixed but flexible gaze, with my knees light, and my feet continuously sub- merged in the dust, in the mud, in the water, in the stone. I lose myself in the attempt to continue. I bear the vertical burden of my head, I move and plunge, plunge and move, always forward, as Doña Esperanza used to say.

Lina Gómez

Lina Gómez is a Colombian-born, Brazilian-raised choreographer, dancer, and teacher based in Berlin. Her work challenges our perception of time through persistence and repetition, interweaving diverse movement traditions with the energy that flows between music and body. Gómez studied Dance and Theater in São Paulo and completed a Master's in Choreography at HZT Berlin. Her most recent ensemble creations include "WIRRUNGEN – Sapatos Cegos" (2024), a performance for public spaces, "Antigone" (2025), in collaboration with Jörg Wesemüller at Staatstheater Braunschweig, "Vagarosas" (2023) and "Träumerei des Verschwindens" (2022), both presented at Radialsystem Berlin. Since 2015, she has been selected for residencies across continents, including the prestigious Villa Kamogawa Residency – Goethe-Institut in Kyoto. www.linapgomez.com
