Synopsis: In Broken Tailbone, Carmen Aguirre transforms a dance lesson into a bold, immersive solo performance exploring Latin American resistance, exile, and sensual liberation. Set in a makeshift dance hall, Aguirre leads the audience through salsa, cumbia, merengue, and more, using each rhythm to share personal and political stories—from growing up under Chilean dictatorship to the healing power of dance halls. Blending humor, history, and vulnerability, Broken Tailbone invites participants to shed inhibition and move toward joyful self-affirmation.
