Marine Snow

Inspired by the phenomenon of marine snow – small particles of organic matter that drift through the ocean’s depths in a snow-like manner – this piece submerges the audience into the depths in search of this delicate cascade. As we observe the transformation of a familiar space through moments of stillness, where even small ripples resonate with profound intensity, and moments of swirling confusion, our perspective starts to drift into new directions.

INTO THE VOID

Whoever or whatever Godot is – it’s annoying! After all, nobody likes to wait. But if we’re honest, we spend our whole lives waiting for something. “Into the Void” is a mixed reality music performance that confronts the unsettling nature of waiting. A solo performer, trapped in a digital cycle, embodies our fears of time and isolation. Blending film, augmented reality and sound, the performance reflects on our anxieties within the digital spaces we inhabit.

When do you live?

When do you live? is a multidisciplinary music theatre piece featuring a single protagonist who exists in two different times, appearing as if two characters share the stage. They communicate through a now old-fashioned tool, forging a connection across time. Swept up in the rush of modern life, they gradually come to realize a deeper essence of living.
Their inner voices unfold in a musical dialogue, while live electronics bring the stage to life.

Hybrid-life

Hybrid-life is a transdisciplinary show, directed by Jorge Villoslada Durán, in which technology and music intertwine in a fusion of videos, electronic music, computer-generated voices, memories, and cybernetic devices. The work consists of a series of pieces revolving around the coexistence of human beings and technology, sound and the digital devices that surround us, reality and I-reality.
