Director Statement

We are trying to find different ways to interact and express everything that comes to our minds as a dancer and as a musician.
Video became for us a beautiful environment where sound and movement could actually become one as an image. Being able to explore this behind Eloy's eyes has created for us a new label in our professional worlds.
