– Once I was all dance, I was not alone. There were plants.

Coreografías Selváticas is an apparent solo, it is an extended mass between two dimensions of movement. An attempt of a joint presence between: them the plants, me and you.

Coreografías Selváticas arises from communication with plants and their possibilities
in sensitive production. The curiosity that emanates from the plants goes hand in hand with the experimentation, alchemy and cultivation, three great magnetic fields from which the humanity has made a link with the plant world. Each culture with infinite practices that goes from rituals, shamanic ceremonies, to recreational and culinary uses. Medicine and poison; food.

Coreografías Selváticas ask itself if the charm of the plants as a form of relate to human life can do more. From here arises the will of the power of imagination: forms of life that suspend oppression in any of its configurations.

Coreografías Selváticas aims to be a book of botany in motion, an open book, in order to extend the aesthetic experience to other fields of perception.
