Decadere is the final work in Boán's American Trilogy. It continues the choreographer's explorations of the interactions between virtual and fleshy bodies, using the stage as her laboratory. Boán describes Decadere as "the dance of the crisis of the capitalist system." In the work, she cites two earlier works: Fast Food and El pez de la torre nada en el asfalto, which were both responses to the economic and political crisis in Cuba in the 1990s.
From the program notes:
