SYNOPSIS

Júpiter + Jaguar is a synergy of ferocity, sensuality and playfulness, a journey of freedom and expansion.
The work is a powerful, pleasant and epicurean experience, with a flowing dance, a virtuous body writing, full of color, incendiary and electrifying, full of nods to wild worlds and irrigated with seduction.

AWARDS

PRESS

“… Jupiter + Jaguar, a piece worthy of being studied in an aesthetics class. In these times where the deconstructed and the reactionary are in constant dialectical confrontation, examples like this piece can help us reorganize our knowledge and impressions about a reality that conditions and defines us as political beings.

Certainly, Jupiter + Jaguar seemed to me a spectacular, impeccable, and fresh work in its ways of presenting its content.”

​“Jupiter + Jaguar is a call to the deepest dance of oneself. A sumptuous work with a staging and music that keeps the spectator from remaining still in their seat. Its performers demonstrate a unique complicity with each other, making the audience participants in the intense journey of sensory and emotional ecstasy that the performers experience. The strength of Jupiter and the ferocity of the Jaguar are not only felt in the atmosphere of the piece, but also hypnotize the spectator through the penetrating faces and expressive bodies of Paula Montoya and Seth Buckley.”
