Dancing the Struggle: Feminism and Activism in the Transnational Circulation of Un violador en tu camino

This article examines the transnational circulation of the feminist choreography Un violador en tu camino through a particular perspective: that of the danced gesture and the variations arising when replicated. Through an aesthetic analysis of the versions that took place in Santiago, Paris and San Juan, it investigates how gesture becomes a device for actualizing the political power of choreography when it is performed in contexts other than that of its creation. In so doing, it points to the danced gesture’s crucial contribution to the construction of international feminism of a protean expression.
