Miradas is a street and unconventional space performance for all audiences, featuring a fusion of urban dance, break dance, and contemporary dance.
Eyes meet, in all those places where we are, we become spectators, or we are protagonists.
All the moments of our life pass through the look, the eyes of the other.
We live in a moment where the gaze is the key to many of the things that happen to us and our gaze is our greatest catalyst.
It is our best and most developed sense, without it we would be lost at this moment, living and desiring only through our eyes.
This gaze becomes in many cases a place of desire for the alien.
and Estudio 3: Miradas), presents a story that has happened to all of us, and how, despite who you are, that gaze leads you to encounter the other, simply, by the force it exerts.
The show aims to be playful and engaging, full of emotion without any stage elements, just the body and a good story. Drawing on the semiotics of the body, it channels the energy of two bodies, capturing it and making the audience the recipient and protagonist.
The piece has a surprise: one of the protagonists of this story is among the audience. Therefore, the spectator is surprised by this, and surprised to see that someone from the audience is a protagonist. By getting the audience to identify with the story, the ending is a surprise. By managing to work on the street's own concept: who is the spectator and who is the protagonist?

Study 3: Gazes is part of the project "Mapping the Body in an Architectural Space." It is preceded by two other highly successful studies: "Discomfort Study 1: Nocturne for Living Room" and Study 2: Silence. This third study explores the same key concepts as the project "Mapping the Body in an Architectural Space":
✓ The architecture will be any urban space, a square, a street, a park.
✓ The sound follows the presence of silence combined with current music, electronic music and hip hop music.
✓ And the intervention of the audience, in this case the audience participates very actively, being the one who generates the beginning of the first part of the show, leaving a choreographic score open to the audience's response.
The choreographic work continues to explore the concept of emotion and the semiotics of the body, eliminating all scenographic elements; this work is a dialogue, body to body.
Conducting research on the fusion of a break dancer's language into the language of contemporary dance. And how to merge the two languages within a single choreography without creating ruptures.
On the other hand, this work aims to promote contemporary dance by bringing it closer to the current language of young people: urban dance. This work aims to unite and show viewers two very different dance languages.
It's a dialogue between, on the one hand, the language of the break dancer and the contemporary dance of the ballerina. Both express themselves differently, eventually finding a common dialogue, a duet, blending their disciplines to communicate.
The story of the show is based on the exhibition of break dancing in the streets. Starting from the work reality of the break dancer who began and continues to show his artistic expression in the street, for any passerby who wants to stop and contemplate his art, with no other support than passing the hat. We will add a nod to the reality that dancers live today: the dancer shows the spectators a sign that reads: "Unemployed dancer, I move for a coin."
This is how this story begins, a simple, everyday story that we have all experienced.
