Fine-tuned poeticscritic by Jordi Bordes

 

There are pieces that give off a special aroma, that make an enveloping sound (before and even when the first note is plucked from the crystal glass). You are already captivated by the exposition of furniture and the glasses at the entrance. The calmness with which the three performers greet the audience, with a calm smile, eager to share, builds a remarkable emotional starting point. Then there is the challenge of surprising the audience in each scene, bringing emotion, nuance, complicity, risk and spectacularity.

Unravelling the circus

Circus Dramaturgies, Pausa 42 (2020)

 
Conversation between circus creator and researcher Vivian Friedrich and fellow creator and pedagogue Johnny Torres, held in different spaces between 2017 and 2019, in which they reflect on the concept of dramaturgy and the (im)possibility of defining contemporary circus, which is committed to a commitment to society, far removed from both the more traditional and conventional idea of circus and its more mediatic and mercantilist derivatives.

Genoma B / Albadulake / MAE (Cáceres)

As a performer for Cia Albadulake:

El juego de Adela en la rueda Cyr destaca sobre todas las
demás acciones por su fuerza explosiva, belleza y vigor rodando en múltiples formas dentro de un espacio mínimo como es el del escenario. (….) En fin, la escena de la fatídica cuerda que cae sin esperarlo impresiona por la poética y por la estupenda intervención de la actriz.

Translation: Adela’s play on the Cyr wheel stands out above all the other actions for its explosive force, beauty and vigour.
(….) Finally, the scene of the fateful rope falling without expecting it is impressive for its poetics and for the stupendous intervention of the actress.
