L'animal a l'esquena (Celrà)
From 28/02/2022 to 05/03/2022
Raquel Gualtero
From the Greek pan (all) and horama (view), the word panorama was popularised by the Irish painter Robert Baker (1787) to describe his circular paintings. In his wide landscapes the artist created an immersive experience that invited contemplation, and so reflection. What is our place in this landscape?
In the same way, Raquel Gualtero asks us to enter a contemplative state in which, through her body, we travel through different imaginings that seem strangely familiar to us. The whole piece is freighted with recognisable gestures that, through repetition, become infinite choreographies. The dancer’s body is at the centre of this landscape. Fitted with a second skin that conjures post-human futures, this body invites you to enter a trance as the only way to reach an intimate, unique and untransferable place, that is not a photocopy of anything or anyone. A place pierced by a voice that belongs to us and which transforms the moulds we have made for ourselves. This place in the landscape may perhaps be strange, inhospitable and unexpected, but it is certainly one we long for.
