Candles are tiny, held fires. They are lit to illuminate a corner, a text, an object, a THOUGHT. Primitive in nature, they awaken in us a feeling that transcends. The sixth sense. Their atmosphere transports us to introspection, to essence, to waiting, to contemplation, to reflection. To silence and its SOUND.
In a world that pushes us toward exhaustion, pausing to look at a candle is an act of resistance, just a single sliver, or dozens of them, in their different shapes, vibrations, DANCES, that make the invisible visible. Contained moments.
One after another, the candles that illuminate hidden places begin to fade. Slowly. Randomly. One remains. The one that persists, the one that illuminates that which must not cease to be seen, the one that reveals the unnamed. A traffic between the old and the new. A fluctuating border between light and darkness.
And then this last candle vanishes. The ephemeral ends. Space shifts. End of cycle. Transformation. From movement to repose. From tremor to calm. Pause.
“It is no longer darkness. It is beginning.”
Dance company launched in 2015 under the direction of the international dancer Estefanía Porqueras, borns with the aim of working on the liberation and expressiveness of the body within the artistic discipline and its rhythmic patterns, and leading the result towards a more organic aesthetic of contemporary inspirations. Thanks to the collaboration in musical composition of Guilliam Sons at the project's first steps, the acoustic framework of the different productions works the sound dialogue between Tap Dance and Electronic Music.
After a few premieres and some years of choreographic research, the interpretation and exposure of basic emotions is incorporated into the language of the project. A compilation of the work carried out in a show-concert, -SIGHTS- Extended (October 2019), is presented in Barcelona, which will be the starting point of the new phase of the project.
Since 2020, the project has been investigating and including psychosocial themes in its dramaturgy: emotional trauma of social origin treated through internal dialogue and self-knowledge (Summary of Memories and Scars), the different states of communication and interaction in social contexts (INTER-ACTIONS), loneliness and manipulation in society (INHABITADO).
