Prisma Lab Youth
x Omar Carrum
He is a dancer, teacher, choreographer, and filmmaker. He joined Delfos Danza Contemporánea as a founding member from 1993 to 2017. He has received the National Dance Award twice as both performer and choreographer, and has been granted seven scholarships from FONCA – Fondo Nacional para la Cultura y las Artes.

In 2009 he became the first Mexican choreographer to receive a fellowship from the Guggenheim Foundation. In 2014 he joined the Sistema Nacional de Creadores de Arte (SNCA), and from 2018 to 2020 he received the Creator/Performer with Career Trajectory fellowship from FONCA—two of the most important recognitions for artists in Mexico.

His short film Fifth Wall, co-directed with Dutch Rall, was selected for the Cannes Short Film Corner (2013) and for the Agite y Sirva (2014). Since 2010, he has been a member of the teaching faculty at the Bates Dance Festival.






El Jardín
El Jardín explores human connections through the metaphor of the plants and flowers of a garden. Within an intricate labyrinth of intertwined relationships, each individual leaves their mark, like roots deeply embedded in the earth, weaving our lives like a rhizome and connecting the invisible threads that bind us all.

Each of us shares similarities with plants, using masks to face life. Like the thorns of a rose, our smiles and sarcasm can protect the fragile beauty of our past memories. Others prefer shade or light, becoming nocturnal or diurnal beings who depend on the sun, water, or the shade of others to confront the darkness or light of our emotions. These choices reflect our strength and, at times, even the poison or the elixir hidden behind the branches of our intentions.
