Dantzaldia. A La FuNdicIOn programme
Cía. Daniel Abreu, one of the hottest companies on the Spanish dance scene, presents La desnudez, a choreographic work that examines and narrates a type of intimacy and what sustains it. The piece describes the magic of a relationship, where questions no longer exist and there is only action. Two characters on stage, accompanied by the music, the musician and the grave sound of the wind on the metal. La desnudez refers to that place of intimacy where questions no longer exist, the beauty in the nakedness of what is and what happens. The creative process for this work "began without a name or a path", according to choreographer Daniel Abreu. "Two years of fallow land and then finding more beauty in things, in dance steps, in garbage bags and broken instruments. We were building and destroying," he explains. This 75-minute journey is open to the spectator’s own interpretation. It can be seen as a flashback or simply the tortuous path of a couple as they strive for affection. The performers use the poetics of dance to swim in these polarities. The subliminal nature of a hand at times touching, exchanging heat and sweat and at other times, simply devoid of affection. It is built and destroyed, like the act of breathing. They travel from death to love and they exist. This show makes use of strobe lights.
