"Being a body, having a body - thematic touch", is the result of a creative work between the cooperative Maura Morales and Intranzyt Cia®, resulting from the research between conditionality and sensitive explorations of possible forms, between the body as an inescapable battlefield of social power politics and the body as a place from where radiates the "zero point of the utopia of the body", as stated by M. Foucault. Based on these and other reflections by M. Foucault, such as the question he asks when he says, "My body is a merciless subject. And if now I had the luck to live with it, only, as a shadow?", led to the movement research on "the other bodies", "the body of the other", "which body?", where extensions of the work were created, during the creation process, to groups of the population with distinct age groups, with bodies very different from the traditional dancer's body, or even proposals to work with people with physical disabilities.
