Dora Arreola & Mujeres en Ritual Danza-Teatro

Queering the Border: Que el amor nos haga (Love Makes Us) is a bilingual, movement-based, devised theatre project based on stories of women and LGBTQ2S+ asylum seekers, exploring the lived realities and symbolism of the U.S.-Mexico border. Created and directed by Dora Arreola, with Mujeres en Ritual Danza-Teatro, this new work sheds light on the reasons people migrate: from fleeing domestic or state violence, to homophobic or transphobic assaults, to climate crises and poverty. Approaching stories of migrants from a queer feminist point of view, it explores the theme of love through the lens of decolonization, using ritual and imagination as tools of resistance and healing.
