DEVÓRATE

​

SYNOPSIS

This performance was created to deteriorate itself in 450 years on the large share of Pacific garbage, where the future was swallowed by the plastic. As humans’ wastage, a woman was transformed into a digital worker after the crisis of representation. She eats herself in search of the pleasure of a collective body, something that was lost long time ago.

ABOUT THE PROJECT

The dance performance Devórate questions, through a female body, the unstoppable consumption of plastic material as well as the technological development versus the simple existence of the human being. With a self-referential and anthropophagous language, an intensive research work was carried out during different artistic and technical residences in choreographic centers and theaters in Spain and Brazil such as: Casa Hoffmann Movement Studies Center (Curitiba), Canal Dance Center and Nigredo Espacio (Madrid), Eima Creació (Mallorca), Graner Center for Creation of Dance and Performing Arts (Barcelona), Carme Theater (Valencia) and Palace of Festivals (Santander). The project was supported by the Iberescena Program (Spain and Brazil) and the Curitiba Patronage Program (Brazil). The premiere took place in September 2019 in the city of Santander (Spain) and it was then performed in the cities of Buenos Aires, Madrid, Mallorca, Valencia, Logroño, Vitoria, Sevilla, Curitiba and Recife.
