María Teresa Hincapié (1956 – 18 January 2008) was a Colombian performance artist. Performance art is presented in front of an audience embracing different forms of expressions like dance, theater, music, film and plastic art.[1]
Life and career
[edit]She was born in 1956 in Armenia, the capital of the department of Quindio. Her initial studies were in acting and she developed her work towards the field of performance art,[1] where she stood out as being at the vanguard of this artistic field in Colombia. Hincapié came from a dissociated discipline called plastic art, at least in Colombia. She studied in France, Indonesia, India and Japan where she became a versatile artist with various cultural influences.[1][2]
In 1990 she obtained first prize at the XXXIII Salon of Colombian Artists with her work Una cosa es una cosa and became a member of the theatrical group 'Acto Latino' (Latin Act).[1]
Hincapié worked with Colombian and Mexican play directors, choreographers and script writers Alvaro Restrepo and Juan Monsalve in Una cosa es una cosa, Parquedades, Vitrina, and Historias Del Silencio.[2] She died from breast cancer on 18 January 2008.[3]
