“I want to be able to tell stories to a very broad and heterogenous audience (that could include my grandma or cousins that don’t know anything about contemporary dance).” Désirée was born in Mexico in 1992 and lives in Belgium...
Have you ever heard voices whispering in the dark? Have you visited a place of infinite sadness? Have you begged the shadows for a friend—or wished the monster under your bed was real? The day of reckoning is near. Ancient ghosts hungry for vengeance are at the corner. Shadows you once met, then forgot, return to reveal their truth.
La Noche de Aparición is a playful horror tale in three acts. A chaotic journey with undocumented ghostly creatures. They come with stories. With laughter. With sorrow. With tenderness. And tonight, they dance.
Created by Désirée 0100 and Lulu Muñoz, La Noche de Aparición is the second installment in a trilogy exploring solitude, intimacy, trauma, the struggles of migration, horror aesthetics, paranormal experiences, Mexicans myths and Latin American pop culture.
