Con la V de Victoria blends Afro-Peruvian ancestral rhythm and contemporary performance, directed by Gabriela Shiroma.
About this Event

Inspired by the intellectual and artistic legacy of Victoria Santa Cruz, the work explores Black female identity as a site of cultural resilience and artistic innovation.

Through live Afro-Peruvian percussion, choral textures, embodied storytelling, and ritual movement, the piece constructs a theatrical landscape that is both intimate and expansive.

Rather than recreating historical repertoire, the performance proposes a living continuation of Afro-Peruvian aesthetics in global contemporary contexts.
