Last hour of light and last hour to give it everything you’ve got on the dance floor. Someone talks to us, inviting us to claim the space, to tire ourselves out, to refrain from looking at how other people dance. The party will be intense but then we can rest. Maybe lying down, maybe leaning against the wall, we’ll catch our breath and listen to the stories that Eddi Circa will share in secret. Why is it that tired, after dancing, we listen to secrets better?

TEMPO DE FURIA (Egozkue and Paz) present their FIESTA INTENSIVA, a twenty-first-century dance hall. A live, uninterrupted movement practice with a soundtrack. It’s a space to take some time out, a time to exhaust the dance in the body, to exorcise the demons and make them dance. The session will be structured around improvisation guidelines, “keys” to activate personal, incomparable ways of dancing in relation to the collective. A call to irreverence, especially with regard to ourselves. The idea is to question and perhaps suspend the “notions of dancing” that condition us when we move. Will it be possible?

Javiera Paz and Manuel Egozkue started working together in the fields of performing arts and dance in February 2020. TEMPO DE FURIA is their name as a collective. Composers, choreographers and performers, they also collaborate with different stage and audiovisual projects.

Eddi Circa presents for the first time in public her piece Siete fábulas muy breves: Echo de menos a todo el mundo [Seven Very Short Fables: I Miss Everyone], in relation to the composition of her new album.

“At night, in the dark, with strangers and under the influence of the party and exhaustion, I share seven stories, seven fables about incidents, problems and conflicts with abundant signs. Stories about fucking around, wandering aimlessly through the city, wasting time, waiting for the incident to unfold, seeing the sign, the sign charging you. After the charge, obliged and violated, decoding the sign that the street, the Tuesday, the lover suggests to you. Calming down, sleeping and the next morning starting again. Epistemology of does 3000. Not an emotion, only an incident.”

Eddi Circa is a composer and guitarist with a PhD in Physics from the University of Alcalá. She is currently working on her next album under the influence of a philosophical and literary genealogy of lesbians and dissidences.
