‘And the animal remained , as ever, inside the human’  

 

In a world ravaged by hubris, two deviant bodies take the streets of forgotten areas, seeking solace amongst the ruins of our own making. We enter a surreal territory where bodies become inconsequential and time is liquid as future, past & present intertwine. You sense deviant bodies extract the living tension between power and powerless, suggesting that our human state isn't fixed but can be stretched, distorted and reshaped.

Where soft and hard meet, there is a place where we can fall apart.


 *Text paraphrased from excerpts of the essay ‘SEEDS ‘ by Felizia Matthews.



YIELDING is a group work for two dancers and one electronic musician that together create a dreamscape for the audience to step into. The spectator is seated amongst the events , inside the space, surrounded by movement and surround sound that is visceral and intimate. The bodily expressions are magnified when the dancers are close enough that you sense them more than look at them as the sound vibrates through your body.

Escarleth Romo Pozo performs and create dances. Born in Nicaragua, she has lived and danced in the UK, Belgium, Switzerland and is currently based between Stockholm and Copenhagen. Departing from metastable bodily states her work is a continuous revision of moments of resilience dealing with the elasticity between resistance and surrendering. She creates through states of loss and dissolution as recycled events placed in a circular sensation of time rather than a linear perception of history. She is particularly fascinated by the ever changing levels of resonance and dissonance of the intimate, the hidden and the invisible forces that bring us together or make us fall apart.
