1- "Las Manos. Son dos" Constanza Brncic (dance), Ferran Fages (music), STANDING. NOT TO TANGLE WITH SHADOW. SHADE JOINS EQUIVOCAL REFERENCIES. HEAD AND KNEE, FOR EXEMPLE. OR WORST, SHOULDER AND SANITARY OBJECT. STANDING. TO ABBREVIATE. Chantal Maillard, HILOS, 37'. 2- "To struggle" Diego Chamy (dance), Robin Hayward (music), Robin Hayward and Diego Chamy’s work is based on an improvisation of non-reaction, in which the apparent discourse between the two artists turns out to be two separated series of events, each taking place in solitary confinement. This impracticable communication acts as a starting point for a kind of drama, where the stage becomes a diagonal line in which different kinds of events are thrown: concentrations and dispersions of the space-time provided by a percussive and noise-based approach to tuba playing, twisted and out-of-confusion actions and inactions, fake movements, forced displacements and invisible gestures. A palindrome has no exit. Once you enter, the only thing you will find is the entrance again and again. Maybe the exit is in the middle, in the form of a thin invisible line. But maybe we need alternative ways of escape. In any case, it’s a baroque room without exits carrying a strong dramatic impulse. It prevents the movements as translations in a given plane by reversing their direction in an unexpected moment. Its effects constitute a world of reflections populated by blurred subjects that already lost the ownership of their actions. Robin’s musical discourse and my movements-actions are two entrances that won’t communicate. There will be a thin line where an encounter can happen, but this possibility won’t dissolve the feeling of desperation for going out of the series and jump into a different plane. This jump can remain virtual or actual, and it will introduce or only suppose any chance of consumption. 41'. - Artistic supervision: Ines Birkhan, Bertram Dhellemmes
