For this performance I wore an electro-luminescent costume that outlined the form of a ‘migrato’. Throughout the Luminaria festivities, the character performed a ritualistic dance, as a celebration for having successfully crossed into a land of opportunity. The intention behind the piece was to magnify the alienation of displaced persons by utilizing the metaphor of the stray cat and reinforcing it by illumination.
