Estudio de la corporeidad del Pasillo Ecuatoriano

Abstract

El Pasillo, is a musical rhythm that is considered an identity in Ecuador, and recently it has caused controversy. The following investigative work, demonstrates the influence this rhythm has over the Ecuadorian people. To do this, we have asked a group of volunteers of various ages and we interviewed them on the matter. They were interviewed regarding their knowledge, and experimented their body reaction towards the rhythm while they were in their intimate spaces. As a result, the development gave way to the staged play “Cuerpos del Pasillo”. The production brings together the previous research in a single montage.
