Panama, September 4, 2026. - The Colombian company Sankofa Danzafro presented this Thursday, September 3, "Geographer Liquidas" at the Teatro Áurea "Baby" Torrijos de Ciudad de las Artes, as part of the National Danza 2026 Meeting, at a stage that explored, through Afro-contemporary dance, the relationship of Afro-descendant communities with water, memory and territory.

Under the direction and choreography of Rafael Palacios, the work turned the movement into a language to evoke the experiences related to rivers, seas, ponds and rivers, known as spaces of life, identity, spirituality and collective memory.

"Liquid Geography" also addresses the challenges these ecosystems face as a result of pollution, abandonment and violence affecting black communities while claiming their ancestral knowledge and their actions of resistance to protect their lives and their lands.

"Geographies Liquidas" was released in November 2025 at the 7th Cali International Dance Biennial and later presented at Colombian stage and festival events, including DanzaMed, the Colón Theater of Bogotá and the National Museum of Colombia.

The presentation in Panama forms part of the program of the National Dance Meeting, an initiative of the Ministry of Culture that brings together national and international proposals at different corners of the country from 1 to 15 September.
