In connection with the Stockholm-premiere of YIELDING, choreographer Escarleth Romo Pozo talks with MDT producer Mmabatho Thobejane. YIELDING was presented at MDT on March 21-22, 2025.
Escarleth Romo Pozo performs and creates dances. Born in Nicaragua, she has lived, studied and danced in the UK, Belgium, Switzerland and is currently working in Scandinavia. Departing from metastable bodily states her work is a continuous revision of moments of resilience dealing with the elasticity between resistance and surrendering. She creates through states of loss and dissolution as recycled events placed in a circular sensation of time rather than a linear perception of history. Escarleth is particularly fascinated by the ever changing levels of resonance and dissonance of the intimate, the hidden and the invisible forces that bring us together or make us fall apart.
