Inka Romani
EL DEMONIO DEL CUERPO
A demon that inhabits the bodies of thousands of women. A dictatorship that attempts to tame it through repetitive movements and gymnastics. The Sección Femenina was the women's organization during the fascist dictatorship in Spain (1939–1975). It was responsible for controlling women's lives and also organized women's sports and folklore. In her project El demonio del cuerpo, Inka Romani draws on the archives of this period to create a documentary choreography about memory, censorship, and violence against women and queer bodies. Using footage of mass movements, she deconstructs mechanisms of control, empowerment through sport, and dominance exercised through movement.

Inka Romani
is a choreographer from Valencia whose work weaves movement and artistic research together through an interdisciplinary approach. Her practice explores the intersection of tradition, folklore, and contemporary dance, examining notions of identity, community, and the tensions between past and present through embodied performances. Inka graduated in Communication from the International University of La Rioja and furthered her training at the Centre National de Developpement Choregraphique de Toulouse.
During her residency at K3, Inka continues her research on embodied memory, documentary practices, historical trauma and cultural identity in post-dictatorial societies. Her research draws on the Spanish Dictatorship (1939-1975) regime and the violence enforced on women and queer bodies. Her work aligns with contemporary initiatives to reclaim erased cultural histories and shed light on marginalized narratives through choreographic practice.
