See Chicago Dance’s Tristan Bruns picks INSÉKTA’s MATADORA in the September 2026 “Shows You Gotta See” —
“‘MATADORA’ is a new work of Latine Futurism about an untamable creature and the blistering rage that can smother or unchain her: beast, or una diosa? ‘MATADORA’ confronts Latin American mythologies that make monsters of women’s suffering, and uses dance, physical theater, and visual culture to construct a new Latine archetype that refuses domestication. Gratuitous, grotesque, and laughing through the underworlds of her odyssey, ‘MATADORA’s’ starring beast is reborn: mutated and made whole in the dignity of her rage. Violence, misogyny (its own kind of myth) cannot discipline what is meant to be free.”
