WHAT WILL REMAIN AFTER ALL?
What will remain after all? New research supported by United Cowboys (Netherlands) and CINE (Mallorca). Using as starting point 100 positions from Kamasutra positions, the work questions interpersonal dynamics, friendship, sex and sexless bonds. Florencia Martina and Fionn Cox-Davies are friends and collaborators working across dance, music and visual arts since 2011.

to mark the intervention: gold in the crack an ornamented fracture
Japanese sealing method that fills in with resin and metal; gold, silver or platinum, a reparation that exposes cracks discussion at the Acropolis, restore with concrete then return to marble, leaving in evidence the exercise of restoration clearly changing the colour the material because the destruction is not erased in pieces of history, time shows broken surfaces
in its hands corridors of fire, lineaments of volcanoes capturing the meeting points between diverging tectonic plates tunnels that, from time to time, exude lava geological constitution that burns daily in its permanent internal fire looking at the end can be inherent to the geography of the planet, a daily apocalypse event end of 2020 -what are your wishes for the upcoming year? not to pass it - answered the 94 years old man without sarcasm, longing for a cut, wishing to delimit to forget fugues, drippings, leakages, closures latency of a conclusion incapable of reactivation I am I an active element of the end?
Working with printmaking, clay and dance, the project elaborates on the idea that one and its surroundings are, in various historical and personal phases, experiencing a rupture or end. The project questioned the state of finality, fracture and limit as a constituent characteristic of the subject and of the Earth. The research inquired material and poetic analogies between; geographical elements of the earth's surface like volcanoes, caves, tectonics plates that act as perforations, cracks, leakages; spaces of rupture in daily materials and surfaces like screams in walls, leaks in ceilings, fissures in objects, archaeological ruins; and; physical and emotional spaces of dissipation in the body like brain cracks, bone fractures, tear troughs, pupils, act of forgetting.
DELIRIUM AND DICOURSES
2016-ongoing
D+D is a physical practice of instant composition that dialogues movement with spoken text. It exists as a personal practice and as a performance. The investigation aims to identify how information remains in a body, and how that body choreograph with it.
I study the process of selection, rendering and archiving while simultaneously dancing. I see it as a live broadcasting dance. What do I listen to? what do I remember from what I had listen? how did I dance while listening certain thoughts? How can I recall the choreography and the content of the audio? Since 2016, I have been dancing to diverse podcasts, readings and interviews regarding ecologic crisis, feminism and queer theories, analytic philosophy, cognitive science and poetry.
no song
no colour
no family
no church
no party
no pet
no home
no nightmares
nor dreams
swimming in the nothingness of the everything
and everything can be too much
so
I secretly dream / I secretly trust / I am secretly superstitious
surviving the logics of disengagement and scepticism
longing for reasons I am searching grounds
principles
wishing meaning
and joy, reasons to live, do
to pursuit

There is something maddeningly attractive about a word that goes silent in transit.
(Anne Carson)
MOLY is a collaboration with Daniella Santibañez based on Anne Carson essay "Variations on the right to remain silent”. Together we have been developing dances to expand on what a system of translation means.
