Last project in residence

El demonio del cuerpo is a documentary choreography project about memory, censorship, and archives. In it, archival materials that are usually part of the research process appear in the final staging of the piece and serve as the foundation for its dramaturgy.

The project focuses on the historical censorship and manipulation of traditional dance practices by the Sección Femenina, an organization that regulated women’s bodies during the Spanish dictatorship. It aims to reveal how dance was used as a political tool to reinforce the regime’s patriarchal ideology and explores its lasting impact on contemporary Spanish and Valencian identity through the development of a hybrid dance practice that brings together flamenco, traditional folk dance, and urban dance forms.
