Sinopsis

I always had a body. And my parents too, and my siblings, as well as people with whom I went to school and to university. Later, in following jobs with which I earned my living, I only knew of body individuals. That’s why I’m surprised that we talk about the body as if it would be a recent acquisition, when the truth is that already in the prehistoric antiquity our grandparents related to each other with bodies that substantially they were not very different than current bodies. In spite of this, we have not managed to convert this organic condition into something ordinary. In fact, we go nowhere without body. (Juan José Millàs, Cuerpo y prótesis)


Brief description

This project is held within a larger project: skin change, which was iniciated in 2007 and wants to include different projects in the form of reflexions, research and creations about one theme: The Beauty. They are meditation-creations about the beauty of the body- beauty of soul (if there are differences between this binomial), the beauty and the sacred, the beauty and the divine, beauty and health, beauty and old age.


It is above all a meditative proposal about body impermanence: the
presence and absence of the body and the soul. It is a creation about
being in the here of the space and the body, or being in the space of
imagery: the transparency or opacity of the body, emptying and filling. I talk about unbalance, of the excess or the lacking, the fear of loss, the fragility of our being and the research of health and permanence.


Dust figures presents a universe which oscillates between dream and
vigilia, play and nightmare, from an unfolding into various presences
and/or absences and different states of being which find a formal
expression in the changes and interferences among scenic languages and registries.

What we, the human beings, have in common is that all will die and that we do not know when or how. We will lose the loved people, our health and finally our bodies. (Meredith Monk, Impermanence). In the universe there is only a law that never changes: that all things change and nothing stays permanent. The question of the being is a concept defined by permanence. Where there is nopermanence there is no being. (Laureano Ramírez Bellerín, Kumarajiva).
