Thesis dance performance by Aaron Martinez ’26
Lo Que Se Rompe, Brilla is a dance performance exploring transformation through rupture. Inspired by the Japanese philosophy of kintsugi—the art of mending broken pottery with gold—the piece embraces fracture as a catalyst for radiance. Rather than concealing damage, it highlights it as history, resilience, and beauty. This work charts an emotional and physical journey from containment to self-illumination. Through movement, projection, and bilingual poetic elements, the piece investigates the power of vulnerability, the dualities of identity, and the tension between hiding and being seen. The body becomes both canvas and storyteller, revealing how breaking can be an act of becoming.
