K-danse

Director: Jean Marc Matos. France. Rehearsals and creation of the show *Magh

Dance and robotics: 3 women + 1 semi-autonomous animated machine.

Piece created by choreographer Jean-Marc Matos, in collaboration with robotics specialist Thomas Peyruse that questions our relationship as a human body versus a machine capable of consuming energy to move (like) an eternal animal. The piece aims to explore new poetry about this dystopian relationship between humans and machines.

 

public opinion

Director: Etienne Béchard. Belgium.

Trial and research processes.

The movement is investigated in relation to the situation created from the pandemic in which direct physical contact and social contact have been lost, taking as inspiration for the creation the fear of others, the fear of saying hello or kissing each other. . Through movement we reflect on this situation that can be ridiculous and that entails chaos in relationships and life as we knew it.

 

visual dance

Directors: Leonardo Beltrán and Patricia Marín. Mexico.

Rehearsals and creation of the show

Contemporary choreographic piece that seeks to promote equity to achieve freedom. The original idea and choreography are by Patricia Marín who emphasizes that "it is not about being a woman in a world of men, but about wanting to find a voice that promotes understanding the situation and fosters equity to achieve freedom." The novel A room of your own by Virginia Woolf serves as an inspiration and engine for creation.
