Echea

ZA | DanceWorks
Summer 2021

Echea moves around the perceptive and sensorial dimension in the dialogue between sound and body, in a relationship of complicity in resonance. The human body in its single stasis possesses its own vibration and in this condition acts within a space. In this project dance acts on the sound construction of dramaturgy: the body with its cracks, surfaces and cavities is generative, it creates sound and by moving it ensures that the space always responds musically.
