River Coello

River Coello

River Coello is a Guayaquil-born cultural weaver—writer, translator, performer, facilitator, speaker, and researcher—based in Orlando. Their practice connects seemingly disparate fibers, thematically and modally, to reimagine richer relationships to ourselves, each other, and our world. Drawing from Andean wisdom, in their transgressive body, their work weaves grief with hope, moving us away from colonialism toward greater personal alignment, collective empathy, and environmental responsibility.

Sunset 60 Minutes

A multidisciplinary performance influenced by the diaries of Jan Fabre and inspired by queer legacy and survival. This genre-defying piece blends choreography, voice, soundscape, and symbolic design to explore identity, inheritance, and the metamorphosis of artist into art. The sun and moon become a central presence in a world where gender, memory, and embodiment collapse into ritual transformation.
