Fabio, 23 years old, a ballet dancer, came from Havana to Argentina in 2018 with his mother to “try their luck.” His brother, who is also a dancer, was already settled here. He identifies the lack of proper documentation as one of the biggest problems, which prevented him from working for several years and was an obstacle to joining ballet companies. Using elements from Fabio’s daily life and excerpts from an interview, this episode addresses issues related to obtaining documentation and the idea of “legality/illegality” that dominates much of the current discussions about migration. The issue will be approached through the intersection of contemporary dance and ballet.
