SHOWS

V.O.G.O.T. View, sense of smell , taste, hearing and touch... intertwine since the first discovery that man creates from them... The possibility of travel and treasure the feelings they leave footprints in life, our present is the sum of memory nostalgic of each printed direction in our memory.

INVOLUCION “Involution” is a show which tells how the technologic means of communication have come to create a dependence that gets to the point of making us forget the most primitive characteristic regarding human beings: direct, physical contact between two people, without nothing interrupting the magic of the meeting, when all our gestures and looks remember us that we are alive. This message is transmitted through the use of corporal language, using hand to hand and dance, Festivales 2018
