Driven by the mass dynamics of migration—both human and animal—My name is Legion explores the duality of the individual within the collective. Inspired by Daniel Richter’s visceral, tangled figures in Hello, I Love You, the work probes physical accumulation, territorial chaos, and the precarious search for belonging.

Bodies swarm, shift, and rupture into moments of ecstasy and exclusion. The group is at once a flock, a mob, a military formation—unstable and alive. Barros’ choreography traverses this tension, invoking the biblical phrase: “My name is Legion, for we are many.” In a world of constant motion, identity fragments and reforms in the heat of proximity, desire, and fear.
