Pidgin is a highly physical and articulate choreography that explores through movement the notion that such a linguistic term designates: a simplified language that develops as a means of communication between two or more groups that do not share a common language. Pidgin, is an encounter of bodies that look for a lingua franca which allows them to interact and cooperate.

“Avatara Ayuso's well-plotted Pidgin was deservedly well-received. [...] Enacted via a dynamic vocabulary of sometimes strenuously stretched yet undulant gyrations [...] How invigorating to see a power play between strong women”
