Trisha Brown original Roof Piece became an emblem of the 1970s for concentrating the spectator attention on far away rooftops. The 2011 dance in the compressed architectural space of the High Line demand that spectators move to see every dancer. The dance reveals how improvised movement by one dancer, viewed across rooftops, is transformed incrementally by distance and jagged lines of vision. The line of dancers starts South and reverses at half-time.

Poster for Alétheia

2023 · ★ 0.0 (0)

After waking up from what, apparently, seems like a dream in which she asked to change her name, the protagonist loses not only the memory of it, but also her identity. Unable to reconcile with the entity that deprived her of her essence, the only way to find comfort is by taking refuge in nature, an immutable and transcendent being, in it it's possible to find and know the true essence of the world. The story of losing one's name clashes with the tumoural presence of the self, the ego that wants everything, that has to be there, that needs to remember.

Poster for Glistening Seagull

2024 · ★ 0.0 (0)

You moved as if shimmering and rippling water and I danced above like a seagull. The film explores visual reminders of objects and surroundings of memory to the void and absence tied to it, offering a path for the mechanism of memory. The imagery is contradicted by found sounds that operate as triggers of the past or as debris in the present. The film notes a new category of space-time.
