PHANTOM is the title of a production by Darío Barreto Damas that focuses on the relationship between the figure of the ghost and politics of disidentification. It follows the lines of work developed in the projects seguir moviendo and ES UN NO PARAR, which explore the catalysts of a dance that exceeds the body dancing it—such as rhythm, repetition, feedback, archive, gaze, and voice, among others.
Playing with different beats and melodies alongside Juana La Cubana DJ, and layering shadows and lights in collaboration with Grace Morales, the work situates itself at the intersection of dance, music, and visual experience, constructing a shared ghostly body that fades away, making space for everything to dance. Underpinning the entire research process, the pleasure of dancing plays a fundamental role.
PHANTOM will premiere in 2026.
