Since March 2015 I work with the Colombian choreographer Lina Gómez. In a collaborative creation process we developed a series of sketches and pieces on the temporality of bodies: their ephemerality, their persistence, their constant transformation.

“Today I wander with a fixed but flexible gaze, with my knees light, and my feet continuously submerged in the dust, in the mud, in the water, in the stone. Tirelessly I go on, carrying my earth in my stomach, carrying someone’s weight on my back. I cross landscapes of flesh, I vibrate with the cries of the deaf dust and I lose myself in the attempt to continue, to reinvent myself. I let the yellow dust mark my veins, I bear the vertical burden of my head and let the force of someone else’s breath renew me. I move and plunge, plunge and move, always forward, as Doña Esperanza used to say.”

STAUB [Poeira Surda] was created in October 2015 in the frame of the MA Choreography at the Inter-University-Center for Dance - HZT Berlin.
We are surrounded by invisible and inexplicable powers – by material that is constantly moving even though it appears static. Poeira Surda is ambivalence; it is an attempt to belong to the remnants in a space. It is the willingness to thwart others. It is a renunciation of the self and a rebirth in the moment of desistance and perseverance.
STAUB is physical traces, immanence of memories, wishes. STAUB hovers; it constantly changes; reshapes, re-groups and re-invents itself anew and morphs; it feigns pauses, demands, disappears and stops.

devaneios sobre o desaparecimento - Träumerei des Verschwindens presents textures in movement; movement deforms bodies and reinvents their contours’.
Five bodies in continuous transformation.
Landscapes of flesh, which awake the intensity, the dynamism, the insanity of imagination.

Lina Gómez encourages the performers to generate individual movement material based on associative notions, that she weaves into a choreography that is like the weather: forces that agglomerate, evaporate, erupt here and there, ally or break apart, calm down and vanish.
