Pauchi Sasaki
Director
Interdisciplinary experimentation
This Peruvian composer blends styles and mediums in her artistic creations. Her work is focused on improvisation, on developing multimedia performances and on setting film, dance and theater to music. In an intimist way, Sasaki creates electroacoustic compositions that are born from the fusion between classical instruments and those she makes herself, bridging the gap between the sounds of experimental electronic music and the traditional world.
-It is very relevant today, since it highlights the historical exclusion of women throughout history and from different spheres of knowledge, juxtaposing elements such as the body, power and technology.
- Its creator, Pauchi Sasaki, has received multiple honors over the course of her career. For example, she was chosen to be the protégée of composer Philip Glass and won Best Soundtrack at the 29th Ceará Film Festival (2020) and the IBERMÚSICAS Award for creating a soundtrack using new technology from the Mexican Society for Music and Sound Arts (2016).
-The multimedia and innovative nature of her work blends different elements into a composition that brings different disciplines together in harmony in an experience conceived as both digital and live, leading to creations such as a dress made out of sound.
Work in progress: In the artistic world, this phrase is used to refer to plays that are not yet finished but that are performed during the creative process in order to receive feedback.
Artemis: This goddess from Greek mythology was the daughter of Zeus and Leto. She was the goddess of forests and hills and one of the 12 Olympians. As patron goddess of the ancient Spartans, Artemis also used to receive many sacrifices as offerings prior to military campaigns.

- 45 min. approx.
- Todo público
A multimedia opera that goes straight to the heart of the creative process of one of the most outstanding Latin American artists today.
As part of the transmedia and multiplatform opera of the same name, Artemis is a work in progress that intends to be both live and digital. The play is based on a NASA program, nicknamed the ‘Greek Goddess’, that aims to take the first woman to the surface of the moon in 2024, more than five decades after the first lunar landing by a man.
Based on cultural and gender studies, it explores the relationship and juxtaposition between the female body, metal, technology and power, using sound and interfaces like the Speaker Dress, a wearable sound sculpture made up of more than 100 speakers, amplifiers and microphones.

-Por su temática contingente, que pone en relieve la exclusión histórica que han tenido mujeres a lo largo de la historia y en las distintas esferas del conocimiento, poniendo en tensión elementos como el cuerpo, el poder y tecnología.
- Por la trayectoria de su creadora, Pauchi Sasaki, quien ha recibido múltiples reconocimientos, entre los que destacan ser seleccionada como protegida del compositor Philip Glass, el premio a Mejor Banda Sonora en el 29° Festival de Cine de Ceará (2020) y el premio IBERMÚSICAS para la creación sonora con nuevas tecnologías del Centro Mexicano para la Música y las Artes Sonoras (2016), entre otros.
- Por su propuesta multimedial e innovadora que funde elementos de distintas áreas en una composición donde disciplinas se encuentran y conviven en armonía, dando espacio a creaciones tales como un “vestido sonoro” en una experiencia que se concibe tanto desde lo digital, como de lo presencial.
Work in progress: Terminología que, en el mundo artístico, es utilizada para referirse a obras que todavía no están concluidas pero que, igualmente, sostienen distintas presentaciones durante el proceso creativo para retroalimentarse de dicha experiencia.
Artemis: Diosa perteneciente a la mitología griega. Como hija de Zeus y Leto, formaba parte de las doce deidades que habitaban el Olimpo, y era considerada como la diosa de los bosques y las colinas. Patrona de los antiguos espartanos, Artemis solía recibir, a forma de tributo, múltiples sacrificios previos a las campañas militares.
