«OUR EYES ARE NOT VIDEO CAMERAS THAT RECORD EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENS, BUT RATHER OUR BRAIN INTERPRETS AND REWORKS THE INFORMATION THAT OUR SENSES PROVIDE US». MACARENA RECUERDA SHEPHERD.

Macarena Recuerda Shepherd presents ¡AY! ¡YA! , a dance performance designed for family audiences. An illusion that leads to perceiving reality in different ways suggested by the imagination or caused by the deception of the sense of sight. ¡AY! ¡YA! is an exercise on the gaze. That illusion that occurs when the image that each person has of themselves is transformed into another, multiplies or takes on impossible forms. Bodies with various limbs, incomplete, transformable and moldable.

As the artist explains, «the illusion is an effect that shows that our eyes are not video cameras that record everything that happens, but rather that our brain interprets and reworks the information that our senses provide us».
