In every shift of weight, in every movement that doesn’t follow an expected pattern, there is an invitation to inhabit the abundance of life.

L’exposé exists where the dancer’s precision unfolds, allowing stillness and motion to coexist in a dissonant flow. The dance materializes through movements vibrating between chaos and excess, gravity and intensity. With elasticity, the dance twists into different spatial patterns, as the performers move through these complex paths with high intensity.

The piece addresses the necessity of true excess, aiming to embrace abundance as a vital aspect of existence. The concept of excess is not approached through the llusionary lens of consumerism but as a fundamental need in which it becomes an inner drive that can be directed and transcend beyond economic and material limitations.

The dance becomes a catalyst for true poetic waste arising from precision, disorientation, sensory weight distribution, expansion, and fragmented approaches based on multiple, overlapping techniques. The aim is to create a pathway for the dancer’s >>spirit<<.

Rooted in Merce Cunningham’s choreographic method, through the DanceForms software, the method is applied as the foundation for the material, but used entirely in an analog way. The dance is performed through anti-harmony, with constant movements in glitch. The choreographic method of the work derives from the desire to develop movement material of high complexity, advancing the idea that dance consists of a multitude of elements, where the various components of the choreography independently transform into an unpredictable yet organic system.
