LOBO (2025) is a research and stage creation project inspired by the personal discovery of the work Lamentatione Ieremiæ Prophetæ by composer Alonso Lobo (1555–1617). Starting from Lobo’s vocal creation, we aim to develop a contemporary interdisciplinary work where the voice, intimately tied to its physical support—the body—interacts with space, movement, and light exploration. LOBO is an interdisciplinary exploration of vocal, choreographic, and lighting language centered on the concept of otherness. Human relationships are constructive or destructive depending on whether or not we recognize one another as equals: “A man is a wolf rather than a man to another man.”LOBO seeks to reflect on the challenge that otherness has always posed for collective coexistence. We believe that from our present, and in the creation of positive futures, it is essential to continue reflecting on the need to recognize oneself in the other to build meaningful connections.

Within the context of the artistic residency we are carrying out at Graner (2025), we wish to present Canto de Lobo as a direct antecedent —both methodological and thematic— of this artistic residency process at Graner with the LOBO project. This piece* serves as a prism through which we revisit our fundamental lines of work: the fusion between voice, body, and space; the notion of duality and otherness that runs through our research; and the way the architecture of listening influences composition and the spectator’s perception. Canto de Lobo is not only an antecedent, but also a testing ground and refinement space for what will continue to unfold in LOBO.
