TransMatria VR & LIVE Performance 2, 3 & 4 Dec - Free admisson!
Five malambo apprentices immerse themselves in an exchange with a specialist in the discipline, Gabriela Valdivia, and approach the rhythms of zapateos, bombo leguero and boleadoras, at a crossroads between contemporary and traditional dance. The dialogue extends to ways of perceiving folklore that go beyond its colonial patriarchal traits and move away from Western aesthetics.
Inspired by the manifesto of Latinofuturism, Transmatria reveals itself as a trans-spatial-temporal and trans-disciplinary project. Dissident gauchx artists from Argentina and dancers from Berlin come into contact in a VR exhibition of three videos filmed with 360 cameras. The shootings lead us to interact with a 3D replica of the Wallmapu deserts in a format between performance and documentary. That’s where Rocío Marano travelled to train with Rulo Emanuel Hernández, Argentine champion of the discipline in 2017. The school is located in Cutral Co, a city characterized by political struggles against oil extractivism.

NON FICTION TIME

Non fiction time, part of the impact generated by new forms of communication in the performing arts and how, even in distance, we see the encounter with the other possible. But if the theater is a collective ritual, can acting survive the current context? How is the perception of fiction and reality altered when it is traversed by virtuality?

Merging and decomposing the languages of film, documentary and theater, two actresses, one in Buenos Aires and the other in Berlin, show their attempts to generate live performance through the screen and the difficulties involved in a remote creative process , at the same time that they debate about the approach to action when there is no contact or modification that the physical presence of another entails. How to make a stage situation live without the contact of bodies?
