OKAN Laboratorio Escénico

(Expanded Stage Performer Laboratory)

Ten young people cross a labyrinth built from what they carry within: memories, fears, desires, contradictions and dreams. Along the way, each individual search begins to meet the others, until they discover that belonging does not mean ceasing to be oneself, but recognizing what we can offer a community.

Original idea: Ernesto Tamayo.

Staging: Yailin Coppola.

Choreographic design: Carolina Zepeda.

Production: OKAN Laboratorio Escénico.

Project supported by the 2026 National Dance Call through the Artistic Residencies in Dance Program (PRAD), Danza INBAL.

A group of young people tries to find their place in a world that looks at them without seeing them. Their stories intersect amid exclusion, violence, fear and the need to belong, until meeting one another begins to break their isolation.

Staging and general direction: Yailin Coppola and Ernesto Tamayo.

Choreographic design: Carolina Zepeda.

Production: OKAN Laboratorio Escénico.

(Stage research process: body, memory and territory)

A woman moves through a territory of memory, resistance and transformation. Her body, like the wetlands of Quintana Roo, adapts, regenerates and persists even in adverse conditions. Swamp turns this landscape into a metaphor for life cycles and for women's ability to transform and flourish, recognizing interdependence and shared memory as ways of sustaining life.

Choreography: Luz Más.

Performer: Natalia Velasco Zepeda.

Production: OKAN School of the Arts.
