Last week I had the opportunity to sit in on a rehearsal of IXOK’. It was refreshing to witness a rehearsal that was happening in a language I can’t really understand; I was able to simply watch how the people in the room worked together and watched each other.

Materials: Copper etching, watercolour

Performed by: Mayahuel Tecozautla; Created by: Carmen Samayoa and Edgar Flores; Directed by: Beatriz Pizano
