Oro Negro (Black Gold) is a two-bodied solo with live music, centered around the metaphorical idea of petroleum, linking the extraction of the natural treasure to the valorization of elements and identities denied and excluded from the hegemonic western culture. The body is both the instrument for digging and what is being dug up, revealing what is demonic: soft flesh, vulnerable and perishable; female eroticism seen through a woman’s desire; blackness and popular culture.
Poliana Lima is a choreographer, dancer and teacher based in Madrid. She began her creations in 2011. In 2022, she premiered Oro Negro at the Madrid Autumn Festival.
