About the event
What happens when the memories of home become the strength to embrace a new world?
CHOLITA is an original theatrical dance production by Salas Art Agency and PEX Dance Company that follows the journey of a young girl searching for her place in an unfamiliar city. As she longs for her family, traditions, language, and the places that shaped her childhood, fragments of her past begin to come to life through music, movement, and breathtaking visual storytelling.
Guided by the memories she carries, she embarks on an emotional journey where each encounter reveals a new part of her identity. Through celebrations, dreams, friendships, and moments of courage, she discovers that home is more than a place—it is the love, culture, and memories we carry within us.
Inspired by the rich cultural traditions of Peru, CHOLITA transforms dance into a powerful storytelling experience, blending vibrant choreography, original staging, immersive projections, and a dynamic musical landscape…
