About the show

This work takes as its title from the name of the brush used in the Japanese technique kintsugi, which is the repair of cracks in ceramic pieces using a resin varnish sprinkled or mixed with gold, silver or platinum powder. The piece address the idea that breakages and repairs are part of an object’s history and should be shown rather than hidden. Old parts repaired using this method are more valuable than parts that have never broken. Vero Cendoya uses this concept to showcase the value of bodies with scars, wounded, because they have a lot to say.

Vero Cendoya combines her career as a performer, teacher, illustrator and choreographer. In 2008 she created her own dance-theatre company. She has developed both personal projects and collaborations with national and international professionals from different disciplines, such as theatre, painting, transformism, music, poetry and football, focusing especially on social issues: projects on breast cancer, autism, patricide, social inclusion… Her works have been performed in various festivals and theatres around the world. In the last few years she has combined artistic and social projects that work with people with intellectual diversity and vulnerable groups.
