SPLIT IN TWO

 

 

 

                   

 

 

 

 

SPLIT IN TWO is an interdisciplinary performance for non-conventional spaces. Contemporary dance, live painting, video and performance art are mixed together in this project.

 

A 'Spliting in Two' is for the Indian shamans a liberation by natural means, a movement from the every day to renew, refreshing experiences. What happens when we walk deep inside into the (our) nature? When our rational and unconscious life confront in an unknown field?

 

The performance was produced for the International Exhibition Neukölln-import-2009 in the old Kindl brewery / Berlin. Then in 2010 in the event "Wild at arts - dance yourself" at the Direktorenhaus art centre in Belin and in a live broadcast / streaming by the TV channel Alex.

A living room with table, sofa and TV, a man and a woman. The characters exist in the performance and in the Virtual Reality. Old and new times come on stage: a mixture of habits, cultures and stories.

 

The idea of the performance is to compare our private and public life together, and how we exchange or change our roles. How well can you get to know a pair during a 20 minutes observation?

 

Contemporary dance, theatre, video and non-conventional venues are part of this parody of our multimedia life.

Das zentrale Thema dieses multimedialen Tanz-Theaterprojektes ist der Flirt, der erste Moment der Annäherung, die Illusion "Liebe". "illudere" = ins Spiel werfen.

Wir erforschen die verschiedenen Facetten dieses magischen Momentes: Wie hat sich dieser Augenblick historisch verändert? Wie spiegelt sich das digitale Zeitalter in ihm wieder? Wie verändert das sich ständig weiterentwickelnde Gehirn/Computer-Interface

die Kommunikation zwischen Liebenden?

In einer Welt, in der zu jedem Zeitpunkt die physische und die virtuelle Realität parallel existieren, beginnen sich die Grenzen zwischen diesen beiden ehemals so klar getrennten Räumen aufzulösen. Künstliche Paradiese im Cyberspace, Avatare, anonyme Identitäten, plastische Chirurgie, globale Identität und Status... Das Leben verwandelt sich in ein Rollenspiel, in dem sich multiple Persönlichkeiten an gesellschaftliche Stereotypen angleichen.

A dance-theatre project sponsored by the Centre Civic Barceloneta (Spain) and presented there in summer 2005. An old dancer with Alzheimer disease lives alone in an intelligent house, there he records and recalls his memories with help from a Mental translator. Several levels of reality, dreams and fake experiences become life in that place.  

 

 

 

                                                                                                      

                                                                                                                  

Complot in Atrophy

 

9th. piece of Esfenoides.
Direction and Choreography: Jose Fernando Andrade and Lorena Aragón.
With: Elizabeth Rodríguez and Lorena Aragón. Music: Jorge Porras. Lighting: Andres Becerra. Costume: Clara Serna. Scenography: Jose Andrade.
A LINCE production founded by the Culture Centrum of Cali.
 
 
 
 
 
 
This piece was created for the 1st Street Art Festival of Cali, Colombia. This Performance was presented in the Culture Centrum of Cali. It was produced for the LINCE Foundation and directed by Jose Fernando Andrade. Petite Suite was selected like a "Representative piece of the contemporary theater in South America" according to a research of the Freie Universität Berlins.
 
 
 
 
 
 
In the Middle ages the intolerance was called in Spanish "Pasión feroz" (ferocious passion). How could we call intolerance today? Classic and contemporary tragedy patterns were mixed in this piece with universal and local factors of violence in a very ironical way. The 5th play of Esfenoides participated in the Colombia National Theater Festival.
 
 
 
 
 
 
Necare Mundi (Killing the World) is the second piece of Esfenoides and perhaps the most representative of its first period. An international jury selected this work to participate in the Colombia National Theater Festival in 1994. The youngest theater company in Colombia performed this piece in a big parking and in a former morgue. After the performance, this kind of theater was called in Colombia "Post-Atomic Primitivism".
