Latest project in residence

Horizontes Sonoros (2026) is an immersive experience in a silent concert format that combines live music with soundscapes. By exploring non-conventional, site-specific spaces, the audience is invited to question the limits of perception, shifting attention between what is immediate, what is distant, and what is imagined through the construction of a mixed sonic reality that dialogues with the environment.

Concept, music, and sound design: Juan Cristóbal Saavedra, choreographic assistance: Amaranta Velarde
