Bintchumit is a multifaceted persona who uses every medium at her disposal to break free from the fracture from which she emerged. Drawing from fragments of memory, childhood archives, and pop-culture fantasies, she constructs an autobiographical dance-performance ritual that stretches the boundaries of dance and gender, immersing itself in chaos and childhood dreams of being seen, wearing a woman’s dress, and singing Rita.
