Investigation and development of choreographic proposals residency, aimed to artists and groups with more than 2 premières and in process of developing proyects in the field of contemporary dance and living arts.

HOME is an immersive hybrid performance between live theater and digital space, which investigates proximity and intimacy through the use of live streaming, multi-cameras and 360° recordings. Set in a domestic living room, the work follows the daily life of two people, exploring their interactions and relationships. Thanks to body cameras and strategic devices, the viewer can choose his point of view and navigate the rooms, creating a personalized sensory experience.

This project is inspired by the powerful stories of Elna’s Maternity, the Militia and the Mothers of Plaza de Mayo, to reveal motherhood as a space of resilience and strength in the face of struggles and losses. Elna Hospital symbolises an act of care and creation in times of war, where women protected life in extreme conditions, embodying the power that defines each fertility cycle. The Mothers of Plaza de Mayo, through their incessant marches, represent a united circle of mothers who fight for justice and to find their missing children. The Militia women evoke the courage and determination of women who, in times of war, took up arms to defend their ideals and fight for a freer and more just world.

How can we reconnect with our maternal figure and turn the fear of deformation through motherhood into a transformative force for female empowerment? The mother is the first mirror that we have to understand ourselves, what happens when in this reflection we have some missing parts?

La velocidad de la carne es una investigación orientada hacia la creación de un solo de danza que explora los conceptos de tiempo y espacio desde el cuerpo, desde la carne.Es una reflexión sobre la naturaleza del tiempo y su elasticidad, estableciendo una relación entre el presente, el pasado y el futuro, entre la memoria y la presencia. Este proyecto también se configura como un diálogo entre la condición efímera del movimiento y el deseo de permanencia. Se trata de habitar el espacio utilizando la imagen (video) como una extensión del cuerpo y del movimiento. Un cuerpo que contempla su memoria, genera futuro y se interroga por su esencia, habitando el espacio de la interrogación.

Five strangers, stateless, are in an unknown space, with no entrance or exit door. They don’t know how long they’ve been there, where they come from or where they’re going. And, above all, they lack rules or guidelines to judge others. They are forced to live with their disorientation and bewilderment. Their only reference is a wall that rises to the bottom of the space, after which they believe they intuit the existence of someone or something that has abandoned them.

A couple returns bodily through life from the embryo it was, to the dust it has become. From this warm and comforting matrix, its members free themselves and try to get up. To stand up. They face gravity, physical distance, visions and sound deformations due to this physical retrospective. Hand in hand, they seek to get up. Because we are nothing without the other.

The body, mind and space change over the time of the piece and are interconnected in its process. They are transforming instruments and, at the same time, transformed. They constitute the vehicle by which the experience of life reaches us and through which we manifest its imprint. A body, a mind and a space, with characteristics and potentials, are at our creative service.

Through movement and choreographic actions, we will use both people and objects to produce shadows. We will continue the game with the different elements of stage creation, building a unique graphic narrative that combines aspects of theatre, dance, comics and plastic arts.

We will especially explore the language of comics and sequential art, with the intention of transferring it to the live stage, taking advantage of the numerous aesthetic parallels it shares with the projection of shadows: black on white, a dark reflection of current life and culture.

“Calle Sombra” will not be a show of shadows, but the shadow of a show.
