Latest project in residence

Si la profundidad estuviera en la superficie (2026) is a speculative choreographic fiction that follows a human community encountering an unknown life form. Its presence gradually transforms their social organization and the way they perceive one another, affecting them on a psychophysical level —distorting their physiology, use of language, and perception of time-space. Gradually, the group faces a series of dilemmas that reveal the fragility of the idea of community and of their own species.

Blending theatricality, choreography, and experimental music, the piece traces the journey of a community at the intersection of speculative literature and contemporary global concerns, in a critical dystopia that invites a rethinking of the future from radical perspectives.
