La Extrañeza
Performance with Cia Matteria at Centro del Carmen de Cultura Contemporánea, Valencia, Spain. Construction of found object sculptures (concrete bricks, a tube feather tail, the skeleton of a mattress, a listening pipe, wood stick limbs, whistling tubes, a candle burning…) and collaborative performance.
La Extrañeza is a performance process involving the collaboration of found objects. Following the philosophy of relating to other bodies from a permeable and present listening space, movement develops with the textures, sounds, and rhythms of each object. Allowing a freedom of meanings and possibilities, La Extrañeza is a game, an experiment that asks the simple question: what happens when we change things from their place? Counterculture politics and naive aesthetics meet a surreal feminist machinery in queer-ing the everyday and turning function on its head.
