Experiencing Interruptions?

In the other side of the reverse / Del otro lado del inverso

In the Araucanía region, Chile, on December 14, 2020, a total solar eclipse was experienced that awakened the imaginary of a whole country. The dance film is an invitation to relive this solar eclipse, in the same location in southern Chile, with the lenses of dance and fantasy. It investigates the experience of living this natural phenomenon, and shows how the space and emotions of the interpreter change after this night parenthesis. The choreography is inspired by the poetry of the Chilean Armando Uribe, specifically the text Verse Bruto.
A fantastic alien and contrasting fiction is installed in this natural environment, where you can see a person in a situation of comfort and enjoyment with a minimalist and neat aesthetic.
