Danilo de la Torre, Miami

Born in Havana Cuba . Trained in classical ballet . Worked in musical theater and cabaret from age of seventeen. Went to Paris, France in 1985 to join Le Ballet Theatre de la Seine, where he continued to work in contemporary and modern dance. Visit Miami Beach in 1986 (later to be known as South Beach) Relocated there, soon to become Adora, an icon whose outrageous bouffant wigs, extraordinary makeup and captivating stage presence made him/her the undisputed “Queen of South Beach”, a title that survives even in that somewhat changed Scene. Adora’s repertoire of lip-synced interpretations include a variety of music from Yma Sumac to Opera, Edith Piaf to La Lupe. In 2008, de la Torre formed ‘Homo-Sapiens (Art for evolution) with long-time collaborator David Rohn; their first project Silencio, involved an unspoken performance Piece about a Guard and Muslim inmate of a Gitmo style Detention Camp who fall in love.

Maksaens Denis, Haiti

Maksaens Denis, a multimedia artist from Haiti who divides his time between Port-au-Prince and Paris, is also a dj and vj who comes from a classical music background. Appropriately, what might first appear to be unwieldy about his work has the exactitude of classical composition. Like most popular forms in the Caribbean, Denis’s artwork maintains a political consciousness while weaving together spiritual affirmation and visual poetics in playful and seductive ways. In his video installations and performances, Denis juxtaposes a range of images—scenes from daily life and religious ceremonies, digital animations, video clips of the landscape, Vodou symbols—alongside improvised soundtracks, to communicate associatively, to create an experience. I first encountered his work in April 2002 at the Société des Arts Technologiques, Montréal/Forum d’art Contemporain AfricAméricA, where Denis had installed some nine television monitors and projectors showing scenes from Port-au-Prince, Dakar, Paris, Montreal, and Miami, all flowing together with various sound effects and beats to unfold a conversation about Atlantic triangles and routes. The exhibition space was a techno disco at night, and Denis’s installation expanded and adapted each evening. But it was Mix Live Dj-Vj, an outdoor performance several months later in downtown Port-au-Prince, on the Champs de Mars, not far from the National Palace, that was my most significant experience of his work. Here the artist’s full arsenal of digital images was projected to drum-n-bass mixes in an improvisational fanfare of sound and image.

Los Tres Golpes: Johan Mijail, Manosiniestra, and Tim Reyes, Dominican Republic Manosiniestra

Manosiniestra is the alter ego of the transdisciplinary artist Varkito García. Manosiniestra was born as a daily blog on the web, specifically on Tumblr in 2013 and on Instagram in 2015. It was from the beginning a ritual of healing and exploration. Let’s say it’s the place non-physical where subversion coexists with innocence and creates together within the artist represented in a virtual space, decorating your house for yourself and welcoming others at the same time warning them that this is a naked space. Manosiniestra has come out of virtual spaces: in a 2015 fanzine, “Manosiniestra Volume 1”, the “Esto es tan sólo una muestra de mi poder” Installation that was part of the second edition of the Queer Club Parties in the D.R., created by El Cuarto Elástico as an alternative project “ECE CLUB,” and in 2019 in the “Manosiniestra hora en video” that was shown in the “Festival Index 2019” and in the “Miami Performance Festival 2020”.

Lechedevirgen Trimegisto (Felipe Osornio), Mexico

Lechedevirgen Trimegisto is the pseudonym of Mexican artist, curator and producer Felipe Osornio, known for developing an expanded artistic practice that encompasses a wide range of hybrid proposals, combining sexual dissent, popular culture, witch knowledge and science with performance art, image creation, video and writing. A reference for Latin American post-pornography and queer/cuir art, his work contains a strong political burden in which he conceives the work of the artist as a medium through which the invisible becomes visible and the immaterial materializes. It takes its stage name from the alchemical tradition and lives with three kidneys thanks to the transplant that brought it back to life after 10 years of kidney failure, which is why its latest projects are focused on organ donation, disease and medicine. Lechedevirgen is a non-binary artist, positioned from the logic of generic multiplicity that exceeds the human to the halobiont, the plant world, the machinal and the demonic legion, so it responds to the pronouns he, she and they.
