Develar

- +8 años
Daniella Santibáñez and the Proyecto Ensayos sobre la luz debut at Teatro a Mil with their first large-format piece, which connects dance with photography, and the sensitivity of the body with light and its shadows.
A contemporary dance solo that questions the body's photosensitivity, the sensitive relationship that exists between the body, light, and its shadows. The work, which was created from the dialogue between dance, analog photography, and costumes, veils and unveils imaginary bodies through a choreography that moves around the question of light.
DEVELAR makes appear and registers a process of alternations between veils of light and darkness that cover the body, in order to discover its interiority. Each threshold presents movements as a possible response to how much light there is in the body and how much body there is in the light.
