Crisálida (Chrysalis)
A body imprisoned in a terrarium – a pathetic and exhausted landscape – which through dance plays host to figures and images that push it towards a future as yet nameless and shapeless.
With a hesitant dance, in Crisálida we propose to blur the surroundings of the human being, working elastically between recognisable images and as yet undiscovered bodies, in order to welcome not only what is known, our exhausted present, but also what is unrecognizable and is yet to come. Paul Celan insisted on the dialogic nature of the poem (and by extension, art), claiming that the poem is always coming, always en route to something. “To what?” he wonders. “To something open, occupiable, perhaps to an accessible You.” The question that we have from the start is: what happens when this You is not accessible, but it has become completely dry, it has forgotten its essential ability to listen and receive?
Antes Collado is a multiform artist and researcher who reflects on performance, the body and movement. In parallel to his artistic creation, he coordinates the Paisaje festival in his hometown of Villamalea (Albacete). He has presented his work in contexts such as the Venice Dance Biennale, Nuit Blanche in Brussels, El Respiradero in Bilbao, Festival Dansa-Valencia, Cádiz en Danza, Festival Sismògraf, Beijing Dance festival and Jerusalem International Dance Week, among others.
This show is part of the Filatures program.
