Caterina Mora

Caterina Mora inverts, trying north to south, south to north. She doesn’t quite manage it and sometimes loses relevance, but she keeps asking. She is from Fiske Menuco (Argentine Patagonia) and the Rucapillán volcano (Republic of Chile). She lived in Balvanera and Almagro (Autonomous City of Buenos Aires). Currently, she lives between the Ixelles neighborhood (Brussels, Belgium) and Kungshatt Island (Stockholm, Sweden). She seeks to promote reading, pleasure, and dance practices as interrelational devices for confrontation with others. She defends formal education and public institutions. She married to obtain papers in European territory. Her salary corresponds to the PhD she is pursuing at SKH Uniarts, in the Dance Department. She has completed a post-master, a master’s degree, a bachelor’s degree, a teaching degree, and a technical degree. She dances perreo alone, also tango, and sails a little boat. She is a lover of moules frites. She doesn’t have Instagram and has never been inside IKEA.

Latest project in residence

Una otra conferencia-performática (más bastarda que barata) (2022) is part of the series of performative lectures that she started a few years ago. This is the first time she presents an episode of the series in her mother tongue. In this episode, her mother tongue twists with Argentine accent mate, rejoices with Chilean spicy chili, stretches like a 14-year-old dancer, and dances a lot of “traditional” dance. In this episode, there is a journey to the south, a need for “Another bastard-cheap performative lecture” of translation, and a square in Barcelona. As the song by Astor with lyrics by Pino, created in the year she was born, says: “I return to the South, as one always returns to love…”.
