XXI (2022)
XXI guides the audience through the Buenos Aires cityscape— from a car wheel spinning towards dancer Andrés Andino as he vogues through an alley in angel wings, pas vast glass lobbies in the upscale Palermo neighborhood, into an apartment where two men dance. On one level XXI is an exploration of the power dynamics of intergeneration gay sexual relationships, which often see older, wealthier men hosting younger, poorer ones. On another, it’s about the process of transformation: from youth to old age, from stranger to lover, from mobility to stasis. Like the glass lobbies, XXI offers us a glimpse into private space that we are unable fully to access. The city acts as a silent stage for the couple’s pas-de-deux.
