In her solo performance, 18-year-old Renata Flores explores identity, self-perception, and cultural belonging. Drawing on her own life story – having moved from Mexico to Germany as a child – she expresses, through movement, language, and symbolism, the struggle to find a place between two cultures. Garments become symbols of roles she has tried on and later cast off. A tower of mirrors serves as a projection surface for insecurity, but also for the strength it takes to remain true to oneself and embrace one’s identity. Her mother tongue and Little Red Riding Hood as a symbol of childhood and memory are at the centre of the solo –  a powerful dance about growing up and the search for belonging without losing oneself.
