Bernardo
San Rafael
I’m a dance performance artist. Born in Costa Rica, grown up in Germany, the topics of my performances are materialistic extremes and the life in abundance. I perform in public spaces to bring my artistic purposes to everyone.
Performances
Teddy
In this performance I got inspired trough the migration from children in Central America who get missed and disappear in Mexico. Those children are leaving their countries in a hopeless search for a better future in the USA. In Central America the teddy bear is a symbol not only for love but for a good life in abundance, what they expect to get crossing illegally the border. They are migrating to get the teddies they couldn't have before in the childhood.
The global effects of our extremely materialistic life is for the most of the people unknown.
