Ivan Cascon

I pursue emotional atmospheres and shared experiences within the realms of contemporary dance, performance, post-dramatic theater, and installations. I explore Latin American expressivities as complex compositions that generate disruptive, asymmetrical, and non-homogeneous aesthetics. My primary tool is light dramaturgy stemming from conceptual research and sensory imagery. By creating a transversal layer between memory, symbolism, and experience, I aim to enrich narrative with a broad and polyphonic discursive universe.

Sonho e Tormenta is a performative installation exploring the interplay between the world of dreams, our concept of reality, and how we inhabit it. It delves into the presence of the body and spatial perception, converging on the notion of atmosphere as a sensory medium that permeates environments and emanates from individuals. With eyes closed, we enter this state of unconsciousness where reality expands. Across various cultures, shamans specialized in techniques to traverse this portal and perceive what most people cannot. Reality is complex and can only be understood through the dialectics created by multiple inclusive perspectives. It aims to collectivize dreamlike images through narratives.
