‘The door opens; the tiger leaps…/Am I not, as I walk, trembling/with strange oscillations and vibrations of sympathy.’
Virginia Woolf
As it leans on the energetic impetus and the visionary horizon of young presences and physicalities, ONDE (waves) takes form through a performative, choreographic and musical dimension that opens up to the present of outstretched and fluctuating bodies, among ecstasy, animal leaps and curved tensions towards evanescence. Rhythm and effort intertwine, waiting for and attempting a subtraction. There is no time to define the boundaries of the postures, the balances are just subtle and precarious instants, immediately bent towards new conjunctions and desires. The dialogue between anatomical and sound volumes multiplies the perspectives of encounter, confuses the temporal coordinates and, like the propagation of shock waves, blurs the contours of individual actions, between origin and projection. Marking, beating, stuttering, stretching, marking again, getting lighter but also rasher, as bold as a moth that flies towards the light even though it may burn it. ONDE incorporates The Waves’ – Virginia Woolf’s famous play-poem – continuous current of images and need to regenerate in rhythm, and transfers it into the bodies through moments of being and universality of perceptual motions.
