Andrés Corchero
Andrés Corchero, choreographer and dancer, has performed at the Grec Festival de Barcelona many times in the company of a range of other artists. However, he has appeared at the festival repeatedly with one of these artists, the Japanese dancer and choreographer Oguri: in 2013, 2016, 2018 and will do so again this year. Oguri is an old friend of his; they met when he was in Japan in 1986 working in the company of the legendary dancer Min Tanaka.
Body as evidence is the outcome of this long personal and professional relationship. The piece is inspired by Fahrenheit 451, Ray Bradbury’s dystopian fantasy in which books were banned and firemen were in charge of burning them
