Unlike traditional criticism, carried out by a subject on an object of study, in this work the simultaneity of the physical and intellectual discourse makes subject and object coincide in the same person: the dancer. Criticism is embodied and thus sweats. With this proposal, I will try to take a step ahead, to convey the alternative potential of this kinaesthetic language while unfolding critical analysis of how the figure of the dancer has been historically a figure of subalternity, a muted subject with no political voice.

"Sweating the discourse / Sudando el discurso", the book that accompanies this performative work, was published on July 2015, and the second edition came out on December 2015.
