Julia Irango

My name is Julia. Just like that, without an accent, because besides being Valencian, I’m half Manchega. I work in the performing arts—what a wild thing! Although my eyes sparkle with the ways other disciplines operate, it’s the dancing body I end up asking all the questions to because it’s the one I understand best, the one that makes me feel most at ease. I have worked as a performer with some choreographers I admired and now also love, I have also worked with friends and that’s how the project Dunatacà came about. Currently, I am one of the people supporting the space El Consulado in Valencia. In recent years, I have been balancing putting my own work on stage while nurturing the desire to keep doing it, happily supported by colleagues and institutions.

Last project in residence

Mamarratxa Attack is a stage work featuring a single performer and a whole lot of hair on stage. It stems from the desire to delve into a very specific emotion that lives within love—to dig deep like an earthworm that, blind but sensitive to light, burrows its hole. The Mamarratxa gives herself permission to surrender through excess, monstrosity, and the laughable. This work is completed with the team, in an exercise of insistence and deformation of the materials that shape it: its physical practices, wordless voice, wigs and synthetic hair, silvopasture sheep wool from Sant Boi de Llobregat, and some of the coplas sung by Rocío Jurado.
