Vanishing | 2024


Two dancers. Two choreographers. Two moments. Two instants. One song. One light design. From the meeting, we danced a solo choreographed by the other. A piece in two moments, where the music repeats itself, where we build a structure that focuses on the poetics of “night” and “day” as the guiding materials of both solos, reflecting on the concept of time, catalyst of life, and its constant movement. We immerse ourselves in the everyday life of the body and its particular gestures, in the observation of the other, in the repetition of patterns, recurrences, in the destruction of cycles that self-destruct through emptying and fading, regenerating in awakenings; the body as an expression of change.

It must be nice to disappear, To have a vanishing act, To always be looking forward, And never looking back.
