Party, sexual dissidence and community in the post-pandemic era

Abstract

Based on an empirical description of the practice Entrenar la fiesta by Grupo ORGIE and a genealogical approach to the meaning of the festival in the history of Western dance, the following article proposes three possible interpretations. First, we argue that the performance conducts a disruptive political intervention on the moral economy of affects. In this sense, it engages in a reflection on the festival as a political ritual opposed to the symbolic apparatus of representation. However, Entrenar la fiesta goes beyond the sense of a demonstration on behalf of sexual minorities to propose new ways of understanding life in common through a choreographic experience.
