My idea is to show a fragment from the performance project Antes y después de Bailar (Before and After Dancing) in which the spectator ceases to be a spectator and becomes an activator (participant) in a shared experience through time using dance and photography.
For this occasion, however, the audience resumes its conventional role as witness, observing a body that expresses its thoughts while dancing.
Dance as an act of resistance, resisting time and weariness. We’re dancing it and being danced by it, dance myself, dance you, dance us, dance the street, dance the square, dance…Read more →

El coño de Isadora (y/o) permanencias del cuerpo (Isadora’s cunt and/or Bodily Permanencies) is an enaction of psychosomatic research, looking for possible artistic and creative emergences.
The basics of the game are: (genital) pleasure + weight + flow + form + tacit knowledge + states of conscience.
The idea is to encourage the emergence of the unconscious, the implicit, the iconic, the sexual, the intuitive, the representative etc. etc. by means of a specific and concentrated body practice.Read more →

In_Romería is a pilgrimage between independent creation and rehearsal spaces in the city run by artists that engage in different activities. The idea behind screening these videos is to show a new reality: the map has changed significantly. Espacio Practico (SEF-Christian Fernández Mirón), El Clima Mola (Bistü), La Piconera (La Viuda) and La Porta Casa (El Conde de Torrefiel). Video by Hugo Barbosa/hbprgms. Read more →

H A P P Y E N D I N G is a creation project that investigates and creates a visual reference for the idea of death and the dead body.
My interest in these two ideas and all the concepts associated to them comes from a personal experience during a Shiatsu massage. The therapist was continually manipulating my body. Read more →

The piece draws its inspiration from the future imagined by Houllebecq in his book Les particules elementaires in which a new human species, thanks to genetic manipulation, has managed to overcome suffering based on the ontological paradigms of gender and sex, individual and society, finitude and immortality.

IN_ Romeríaholds the idea that while we have physical places in which to work we have mental places in which to create, expose and meet. It also suggests the concept of the collective use of public space. On this occasion, IN_Romería was a musical/performance journey by Nilo Gallego, who took us from Espacio Práctico to La Poderosa, from the Ribera neighbourhood to the Raval. And, halfway through the journey, we stopped for a community meal on the Aurora basketball pitch.
With the collaboration of such heterogeneous artists as Mireia Tejero, Krishoo Monthieux, Pablo Rega, El conde de Torrefiel, Alba Pérez, Mar Medina, Laia Alsina, Jordi Centellas, Fran Blanes, Javier Vaquero, Jorge Dutor, Núria Andorrà, Gara Mora, Penélope Cañizares, Cristina Nuñez, Bea Fernández, Claudia Patricia Sañudo,...
La Romería 2012 was possible thanks to the voluntary collaboration of: Cristina Núñez, Penélope Cañizares, Javier Vaquero, Aimar Pérez Galí, Jorge Dutor, Oihana Altube, Mo Pasqual, Amaranta Velarde, Vanesa Medina, Carmelo Fernández, Carme Torrent, Hugo Barbosa, Carme Bonet, Natalia Sant,...Read more →

‘Danza real ya’ (Real dance now) is a project on and about dance. Using 4 iconic choreographies from the history of dance and from the creator’s personal history, the show aims to re-embody them and re-dance them as a symbolic and historic gesture of admiration and recognition, but also as an exercise in humorous criticism of the world of dance and its referents.

Poderosa presents: No estamos ARTAS VOL.II

The ARTAS collective (Artists Associated with La Poderosa) is a grouping of six performance artists, dancers and choreographers who devise, manage and create the content for La Poderosa, an independent venue for creation in the Raval neighbourhood that stands for and embodies the crossover and communication that exist between the various trends in live contemporary arts. ARTAS is therefore both container and content, not only of a physical space, but of a platform for reflection and artistic representation that constantly questions itself and reviews its relationship with its environment.

ARTAS has decided to use Antic Teatre’s invitation to present a selection of work ranging from pieces still undergoing the creation process, to fragments of existing projects, to reworks of old shows and even performances that ended up being a first step towards a different show.

Antic Teatre, by placing this event within the GREC 2014 Festival, wishes to emphasise the importance of artist collectives in the city as the motors behind the creation of places for discussion and reflection with regard to artistic practice.
