To Dwell

Morar

MORAR is an invitation to stay, to remain and to allow what is already happening to pass through us. We allow ourselves to be moved by the sacred, by the whispering silence of mystery; and then, the question arises, how much distance is there between Nature and us? Does it even exist?…

A dance/offering that is born by, with and for La Peña, a natural sanctuary located on the southern coast of the Pacific Ocean. A meeting of women discovering everything that surrounds them.

Ecdysis: Actions for Shedding Skin. Liquefy

Ecdisis acciones para mudar de piel. Licuar

Short essay film about human transformation in the digital age. Recorded during the Covid 19 pandemic in Valdivia and Valparaiso, Chile, the film presents a group of humans dancing in nature and the city. They are the result of the virtual experiment of a group of stage researchers who sought to approach the ecdysis and metamorphosis of insects, as a metaphor for the profound cultural transformation of society by integrating virtuality into everyday life, a questioning of the notion of presence. The voice-over of the process of how a butterfly is born intersects with another voice asking a series of questions about who we are and how we participate in society
