Representación del voguing como símbolo de resistencia a través del cortometraje documental “Metamorpose”.

Abstract

Voguing is a transdisciplinary dance that combines movements and poses similar to those of fashion models in Vogue magazine, originating in the ballrooms of Harlem, New York. However, Jordy Robles, a voguing expert and director of La Casa de los Milagros, explains that this practice is not well-known in Guayaquil's society. For this reason, this audiovisual project aims to raise awareness of voguing as a form of artistic expression for the community in the city. Through semi-structured interviews with three practitioners of this dance, the documentary will explore what voguing is, what they feel when practicing it, and how this practice has impacted their lives. Additionally, the documentary will cover the "Kiki en Llamas" event, held during Pride Month, which features various categories, including voguing. The documentary highlights how voguing becomes a tool of empowerment and a refuge for this community, which has long been subjected to mistreatment and discrimination.
