Following her experience as a dancer in various national and international projects and companies, she dived into this individual proposal as both creator and performer. The outcome is DESaNUDA, her first creation.
This show arose from the search for new ways of exploring dance using a harness and the dynamics governing it, i.e. the pendulum, fall, weightlessness and suspension. Based on the materials and components she works with, a common rhetoric revolving around the knot and “hanging” elements is created.
The DESaNUDA show has been recommended by the Circus Commission of the Spanish Network of Theatres and was included in the Puncat Catalogue in Catalonia. It has also received a special mention from the Umore Azoka’ 22 Jury.for its creativity, research and innovation.
Description:
DESaNUDA is a contemporary and suspended dance show that deals with the knot and the surrender to bare emptiness.
Interacting with the floating structure and the pendular elements hanging from it, this interdisciplinary piece explores the weightless body and the multiple embodiments in response to the strangulation of a knot and the instability caused.
In DESaNUDA we come across a knotted body searching for the loose end.
