From an aesthetic point of view, drawing on the concept of the aestheticization of shiver (as coined by Francine Fourmeaux), we will explore our gravitational identity. Thus, “PERDRE EL CAP” is an exploration of origins, the ancestral, that which roots us to the earth and gives us the strength to rise. It’s a mane inhabited by a mythological being, a symbiosis between animality and sensuality. It is a collaborative project involving different creators and technicians, constructed in various layers, a creation traversed by multiple levels.
"PERDRE EL CAP" is a research, experimentation, and choreographic creation project based on reflection around the figure of the acrobat as a historical circus figure that represented a paradigm shift in the way we understand our relationship with space, breaking away from conventional verticality (the natural form of the human species) and defying gravity.
