PORTRAITS [of noise] + MEGASTRUCTURE
PORTRAITS [of noise]
PORTRAITS [of noise] is a multidisciplinary project that reflects on contemporary social concepts, represented through languages such as fashion, visual arts, and dance. This project led to an audiovisual piece, a photography exhibition (on display throughout the festival), and a participatory performance which, focusing on the idea of a society of noise, prompts a reflection on how the constant onslaught of information we face daily is turning us individuals into noise ourselves.
The project is the result of a collaboration by different multidisciplinary creators: Miguel González (fashion designer and researcher into the relationship between dance and clothing), David González (visual artist and art director), Virginia Gersol (choreographer and dancer), Caitlin O’Rorke (filmmaker), Pau Mula (music composer), and Abel Castelar and Laura Pizarro (dancers).

MEGASTRUCTURE
MEGASTRUCTURE is a duet that traces the trajectory of two bodies in constant coexistence. A puzzle whose pieces are constantly being disconnected, tested, and reinvented. A piece devoid of sound composition or decorations, where the natural rhythm is created by the bodies themselves.
Sarah Baltzinger and Isaiah Wilson co-direct joint projects, including MEGASTRUCTURE, one of the pieces that received support from the Aerowaves platform in 2024. Their work in recent years has earned them prestigious awards, such as the RIDCC’s XL Production Award (The Netherlands), thanks to which they’ll be able to embark on an international tour for their new production, GOATS.
MEGASTRUCTURE will also be presented on March 23 within the Vibracions project in Barcelona (Moll de Mestral).
