Cosa is the work with which Macarena Recuerda Shepherd closes her trilogy on Illusionism. According to her, this research has led to think of illusion as something which connects the essence to the theatrical, revealing on stage both convention and magic, reality and its twin, action and fiction. Work on this project began in 2017 resulting in the pieces AY! YA! (2018), a research into perspective images thought from a body, and The Watching Machine (2020), a research into perceptive images thought from light, shadow and reflection. The artist explained on this occasion that in Cosa. Intervenir un cuerpo researches into perspective images from the staging. To this end, we’ve considered the body as just another material objectifying it until it becomes a prop. Cosa is “a dance comprising a corps de ballet of things, i.e. the choreography of things”.
