More is More is a visceral solo performance inspired by Mexicalism, a Mexican urban fashion movement that redefines and reinvents identity through excess, contradiction, and transformation.
Drawing from Butoh, cumbia, ritual, and urban counterculture, the work explores abundance as resistance and the body as a site of continual becoming.
