Featured Work

Molecules

Role/Title: Artist
Year of Production: 2017
Venue: TRIBE 17 - International Art Festival. Oxo Bargehouse, London
Molecules is an exploration of an ever-changing shape that reflects nomadism and the capacity of human beings for adaptation and dialogue with the environment.

Three dancers give form to an organism that travels through a building and the public space, and that it is in constant transformation: it breathes, expands and compresses; occasionally it splits and comes together. A sense of disorientation and loss of references is reinforced by a soundscape coming from the mass: the sound creates a three dimensional effect that moves around the space and the audience.

We perform in non-theatrical places that become temporal art spaces; intruding into an everyday space, we break its routine and invite passers-by to experience it differently.

I capture the fragility of our current times, this liquid modernity where things are not permanent and in constant evolution. ”
