The moon and the sun greet the fortune
Short dance video recorded in beautiful oriental garden build by king Leopold II in the beginning of 20th century in Brussels. An inspiration for that was driven from the first contacts of occidental countries with the oriental world and China. Today Chinese influence and collaboration of both cultures is still present.
A story full of humour inspired by popular motives associated with Chinese culture and dance elements inspired by martial arts.
Breaking the cultural barriers, just like cracking the fortune cookie, making dance a common language understandable for everyone.

I studied Fine-Arts in the University of Barcelona (2009-2013). In this period, I had the chance to go as an Erasmus exchange student to the University of Rennes 2, where I learnt a lot of new disciplines like cinema, interactive art, multimedia projects and others.
After 4 years of work and study, I discovered what I really like: screendance. I also had to find out how to adapt it to my style.
I decided to travel to Brussels (Belgium) where I got international experience and made friends. At first, I started as a freelance photographer and videographer with the choreographer Marie Martinez as my first contact. After this, a whole new world opened in front of me: dance, performance, theater and circus disciplines, mixed or not. I discovered rooms/halls where the presentations of artistic projects took place and where I could contact the artists. There I met a lot of international artists and I learned plenty of new concepts.
In that journey, loads of new ideas came to me and I decided to start working on them when I met the choreographer, filmmaker and dancer Ana Cembrero Coca (at that time, in La Ignorancia). At the same time, I encountered the choreographer and dancer Marta Kosieradzka. Thanks to her, I could direct my first short films: our first project was the dance trilogy "The Three Oddest Words" (2014-2015), from which the first and second part ("Future" and "Silence") had the premiere in Cinema Nova (Brussels).
Then I found my own way of making dance film. I still continue collaborating closely with Ana and Marta and I hope to keep making projects with them.
