NOW is an opportunity to meet the production of the artists in residence in NauEstruch. It offers us the opportunity to get closer to their creative process, discover what they have developed during their residence in l’Estruch and, at the same time, it becomes a unique event of artistic presentations.
18.30 h Memory to Camila Cañeque
19.00 h Montse Aránega, Corpor(e)alidades expandidas
Explores the conditions and possibilities of the performative practice of drawing as an embodied device of expression in extension. Through a deviation from the conventionality of the easel, the project investigates the experiential experience of drawing in physical space, where the body emerges as an active agent of artistic creation. Thus, emphasis is placed on the organic-affective and conceptual implications and also on the materiality of the action.
20.00 h Theater. Alicia Arévalo, Magical Theys
Magical Theys is an installation and performative proposal that reflects on non-binary and fluid gender through magical fictions, taking as inspiration the anime and manga of Magical Girls. In these narratives, the use of special costumes that magically appear as a ritualized transformation called Henshin predominates. This act of performance linked to clothing is a powerful mechanism of identity construction related to the creation of dissident imaginaries and corporalities.
The intention is to redefine the imaginary of the knight and the heroic figures as a speculation imagined from a queer perspective. For this reason, transparent, ornate, vulnerable, flexible, fragile, hybrid armors will be activated that, through Drag king practices, will serve to shape deviant corporalities that exceed binomials.
