CUERPO DOCUMENTO
Cuerpo-Documento, is a scenic and research project that begins in 2012, in which the body is understood as a research field and a practice. The project is conceived as a multidisciplinary performative archive. It is linked to a practice that draws lines between the installation, the choreography and the performance. It explores a diversity of languages such as video, photography and iconography. It focuses on the female body as a document, as a place to meet and debate. A potentially poetic space.
The project is divided in two trajectories and practices: performance pieces and the archive.
PERFORMANCE PIECES:
Cuerpo-Documento / Serie 1: is a performative proposal consisting of four pieces / folders, all of them independent and at the same time related. Each piece is 10 to 15 minutes. The project has been shown at the DNA Festival 2018 in Navarra, and La Caldera and the Antic Theatre in Barcelona.
THE ARCHIVE:
