Série B 2024
Launched in 2016 by DLD, Série B is a programming of contemporary dance and its hybrid forms, presented alongside the CINARS Biennial.
Assuming the role of artistic director at DLD was a challenge I was happy to accept, since it is fully aligned with my artistic approach. The company’s values are close to my heart, and I want this unique and innovative organization, which propels the arts to new heights, to continue existing, growing, and helping artists reach their full potential. The experience I’ve gained creating and presenting my repertoire over the past 15 years will be a valuable asset in my new position. As artistic director, I’ll also have more time to reflect on how to develop my activities and those of our many talented creators, as well as the performing arts in general, in a sustainable way.

The primary intention of “the wind rises” is to observe the passage from inertia to Momentum through a luminous, joyful lens. Repetitive patterns are employed with an eye to liberation.
Ten performers, hand in hand like a chain of paper dolls, form a pop-pagan procession. Their bliss is divine: you want to sink into their idyllic world, bask in the same sunshine …
How can we start moving again after a period of inertia? How to move? To what end? To say what?
Walkers arrive in a theatre without caring about the decorum.
Navigating between control and letting go, SIERRANEVADA is nothing more or less than an exercise, a laboratory practice where the performer/creator strives to explore the intricacies of their imagination.
