(Creation Residence )
L'animal a l'esquena (Celrà)
From 22/04/2014 to 30/04/2014
Igor Urzelai - Moreno Solinas
In an initiative by Independent Dance (London) and with the support of L'animal a l'esquena, this residency is part of a mentoring program in which Igor Urzelai and Moreno Solinas will have the opportunity to compare their experiences as choreographers and performers with María Muñoz, choreographer and co-director of Mal Pelo.
During this residency, Igor Urzelai, under the helpful eye of Moreno Solinas, will begin the second stage of research for his solo Can't. This is a portrait in negative, taking failure as the impetus for action, in which the protagonist becomes a vehicle for the experience of the audience, looking into themes such as the desire to be, frustration, success or compromise.
Can't presents a man confronting himself in activities he can't carry out. He tries to turn himself into people he can't be – a rock star, a ballet dancer, a holy man, a porno actor, etc – in an attempt to define what he really can do and who he really is, to act with lucidity and clarity. This piece reminds us that what matters is to keep trying, following our dreams and embracing our individuality, despite social pressures and imposed codes of behaviour.
The process of creating Can't will centre around making a series of fragments (movements, texts, images, songs) so as then to compose from them a piece with a broken rhythmic structure, with unexpected shifts and pauses for reflection.
