Humaniquin

A journey through a science-fiction fantasy-world. A visual universe of physical prowess and fantascience, with plastic images resulting from the body-object symbiosis: latex hands, three legs for walking and masked and undaunted characters.

Humaniquin is a medium-lenght show inspired by science fiction, which seeks to recreate the vertigo of the best fantascience stories by means of the fusion of physical theater, circus, dance and live music techniques.

The impetus for this search is a “conatus”: A powerful movement and an appetite which belong to my path-my artistic and personal path. but overall, they belong to my body, and are born from it.

The norm. The norm-alisation. norm-ality. The rule. The rules. The blood. The sacrifice. The holiness. The perfection. The sublime. The terror. The power. The norm. Cyclic. I want to know my body outside of the norms. The techniques. Outside of what is norm-al: norm-al in the way it moves, presents itself, uses itself, stops using itself, speaks, in the circus, in the theatre, in dance, as an image, as an icon, in this political territory which is my body.

I need to investigate the norms which live in me, so that later I might break them. I need a space of solitude, to recognize the formalities and surpass them. I need to identify the imprints which the power systems left in my body, so that I can revolutionise them. I need to know coercion, so that I might give myself to a fertile insurrection.

Ino

Seven women, do not have much weight in this world.

So we thought: “What if.. we pile each other up?” INO is us, dressed in various layers of social conventions, just like everyone else. Layers that bother us and that don’t allow us to move freely.

We grab one another by our clothes, we pull each other, we help each other to remove the layers that cover us. We realize that it’s heavier to carry the weight of social expectations than that of our own bodies.

We hold onto one another, we cling to each other, we support each other. Simply it is what we want to do, together.

Mer de plastic

This multi-disciplinary show uses comedy and drama to comment on human stupidity. From an ironic perspective, it deals with the irremediable absurdity of the human being as constructor and destroyer. We talk about our reality from fantasy through the language of circus, an aquatic dimension, three creatures and a predominant material: plastic.

Homenaje

HOMENAJE is that moment when something stopped and there is no going back.

HOMENAJE is a tragicomedy that travels from death to love.

HOMENAJE is a sweet wound that questions the audience and places it as a possible victim.

HOMENAJE is a time to celebrate, share and live.

HOMENAJE is a challenge to the solitude of the scene.

HOMENAJE is a rebellion against the established.

Breach

[Breach (n): violation or infraction of a rule or law; rupture in a relationship; gap, rift, fissure. (Vt) Act of emerging to the surface.]

She’s humble and submissive. She’s strong and sometimes likes to be dominated in sex. She’s not been able to say no.

She didn’t say anything because she felt very embarrassed, she felt guilty; she isn’t even sure if she’s been really raped or abused.

A cry in silence and a memory in stand-by.

And who are they?

Let’s begin to talk.

Through a physical and musical language, Som Noise invites the spectator to a space of ambiguity between pleasure and pain, eroticism and violence and submission and empowerment, to reach a dialogue about cases of abuse and gender violence.

Signos

Two characters and a whole lot of flour investigate their relationship possibilities, creating images and balance using the body in motion, leaving traces of flour in differing amounts and a subtle humour open to interpretation.

We are two bodies which entwine and separate to end up where they began. Two stains which mix until they are indistinguishable. Leaving the same footprints (and handprints) and following the same path until we become one piece of dough.

Fil

Fil is a creation which explores human relationships through a universal language: the physicality. Two characters embark on a set of tensions between reality and fiction, reason and emotion, to project an imaginary with which they capture the audience’s complicity.

A poetic, reflective and near spectacle, where balance are always present.

Fil is the first show of the company; a contemporary circus creation that also combines elements of dance and theater.

Proyecto PAPY

A contemporary fool, circus show, which mixes slack rope, juggling, fakir and so very many other fantasies. It’s about human confirmation, in the skin of a woman who wants, wants to be good, to be beautiful, to save whales, rebuild Paris’ Notre Dame, vote for the best candidate, eat organic, be trendy, recycle, visit the Philippines, be a mother, dance well, be intelligent. Be simple, be trendy again, help an old man, adopt a man, feminist, ecologist, with a social and philosophical conscience in which the artist deploys all of her circus talent and fierce sensuality. Strong but fragile, beautiful but a beast, clumsy but wise, Pisces, but with Virgo ascending.

Project Papy invites the audience to live an atrocious moment of love and laughter and love and power and laughter and sadness. A moment of contemporary life.

The truth of these concepts can be questioned, but don’t worry, Presidents lie more, write worse and take drugs (until they become evangelical).

Oveja negra

The Story of a young woman in times when it was normal to marry, have several children, do housework and give up your professional career. A problem which still remains for many women.

Located in a historical context where it was difficult for a woman to occupy a powerful position, this woman decides to build her own artistic company by pretending to be a man. So, she creates a duo show with a partner who doesn’t know her status as a woman. This is the starting point in this story which combines comedy, duo acrobatics, dance and physical theatre as a means of communication.

Mentir lo mínimo

Divest.

Let the reality out.

Minimum play. The sum connection of two fragments.

The audience that invades the stage. The stage that breaks into the building.

The spectator becomes an actor rewriting reality. The present becomes a back and forth game.

No stage, no stands.

No actors, no audiences.

There’s no acting anymore, there’s only truth.

A collective experience in an unusual place.

We maintain a dialogue with the audience through movement, weight, directions. The questions will always stay, but the answers will never be the same.

Nus

Nus (trad.lit. Knot) is a contemporary circus piece starring Cèlia Marcé Oller, accompanied by a trapeze, ropes and pulleys. It is an open door to the inner struggle to find answers to undo and move forward. Nus tells us about the constant contradiction between the insistence of self-improvement and the withdrawal in defeat; a walk through the limits of emotions. Shrunken heart and open arms.

Furtiva

Hodei Arrastoa and Andreu Casadellà evolve this project to investigate the frontiers of contemporary circus and physical theatre. From which different points of view can one understand a circus object like the Washington Trapeze? With a special curiosity in regard to Rudolf Laban they seek cracks within their own language which allow unconscious impulses to emerge. intuitive movement which takes place in spite of ourselves, which carries us.

Futuro Pasado (D`Avenir Passé)

The bodies crossed by movement in the limits of the Trapeze and the Chinese Pole. Futuro Pasado explores through duality, the extremes, the sweet and the bitter, the seen and the hidden, between what is straighten and the deformity.

Two beings, two heights, two elements. The opposites manifest through moviment as a vehicle between the Trapeze and the Chinese Pole. A universe in which the exposed event is going to start soon. it doesn’t matter if the idea is correct or not. Between despair, loneliness and continues inexhaustible need to continue. The force emerges in every act, in every gesture.

A dialogue between the changing personalities which live together in one protagonist. On one hand a shy and withdrawn youngster. On the other, a proud and extravagant person. The confusion comes when he feels his way of living and being in the world become contradictory, an internal struggle which takes over his body and his psychic state.

In his connection with reality, he tries to mediate among these universes in order to elucidate questions between the requirements of the external world and his desires, most private pleasures, but it’s hard to achieve. His emotions show the transition between introversion and extroversion, greatness and inferiority, vulnerability and strength.

Boredom.

I see it, it’s there by my side,

Sitting on the same sofa as me.

He stands there, quiet and calm with a cup of tea, says nothing, but looks at me.

I love him, and he loves me too.

We love us.

Now Time has come too.

He is very clear about it.

We are a super trio.
