Programa

«TRAZOS» is an exhibition platform that not only showcases the particular research and work of each project at different stages of its development, but also the daily work of NAVE as a center focused on creative processes rather than the final result.

This exhibition will consist of six openings of works in progress by chilean artists who have been in residence at NAVE over the past year.

The projects selected for this edition are:

«Paisaje petróleo» by Bolgeri & Marín

«Paisaje petróleo» is a creative investigation that explores plastic’s expressive potential as a material capable of manifesting sound, body, luminosity, and moving texture.

As a vestige of capitalism, plastic is now part of our landscapes and has become part of our natural environment. Based on this premise, they produce a series of material speculations where visuality, sound, and body come together in a physical-material process that unfolds in an immersive experience.

«Brinca» by the Sudakas Sudadas and Fisura/Remoción collectives

“BRINCA: Dances to lift spirits, moods, and bodies” is a project that explores the transformative power of jumping dances in South America as a form of resistance to the regime of sadness.

The collectives focus on dances that invite jumping, capable of changing not only their physical state but also their spiritual state, connecting with trance, enjoyment, and resistance through bodily encounters full of vitality. “BRINCA” is conceived as a ritual of passage that evokes the strength of the body and the collective sweat to connect, transcend, and redefine the present moment.

«Atentamente, Umbrales» by Varinia Canto Vila

«Atentamente, Umbrales» is a choreographic investigation driven by a persistent question: Where are we now? It is not so much an existential question of a mystical nature, but rather a driving force. The investigation is structured around the concept of the threshold, understood as the passage between worlds, states, or dimensions. The compass of the research/creation will be to see how practices can open up and generate spaces that can be concrete and imaginary, real and virtual; and to see how it is possible to create a dance that oscillates between a multiplicity of registers and impulses, as if human beings could and needed to move only from the diverse, the multiple, the changing, and the immediate.

«Osamenta» by Felipe González Badilla

Within a field of bodily exploration that seeks to understand movement through reason, “Osamenta” considers the spine and its bones as that things which remains in darkness.

The opening is presented as a hybrid piece between installation, dance, and performance. The work is articulated from a grid of distance sensors connected to a camera and a flash system, creating a surface of coordinates where the machine attempts to perceive, record, and capture the presence of the body in space. The performative action seeks to tension this technical operation, exploring the agency of the body in relation to the limits of recording: when it is visible, when it allows itself to be seen, and when it hides from the machine’s perception.

«Guardapelo» by Bárbara Pinto Gimeno

The project, which is in an initial creative phase, brings traces of other works or creative processes by the choreographer to the rehearsal room: slow movements, the detail in the body, human hair, and sound devices. From an interest and persistence around working with time and image, we bring these materials together to observe their potential connections and revelations.

The work is creatively conceived for a museum space, where the performers’ bodies are installed and shift between stillness and movement, presence and absence. How long have they been there? Where will they go? How many bodies in a body? Where the touch?

«Manifestaciones humanas» by Jayson Hernández

A post-human being with artificial intelligence appears on stage and reflects on “Human Manifestations” through interaction with the audience, engaging in humor, exposing the contradictions of society, and culminating in a revelation: its reality is intertwined with marginalization, abandonment, and addiction.

A piece that is being constructed through collaboration with artificial intelligence, it seeks to explore the alienation of contemporary Latin American society in a theatrical experience that observes and ontologically analyzes philosophical studies on the concept of otherness.
