A woman inside a box is an attractive image that easily draws us into her story: someone
clinging to their memories and their only connection with these memories is the segment of
space where images converge.
This is a work dedicated to the permanence of love, beyond time and real space. The
recurring relationship between absence/presence is dramatized in the interaction of the
protagonist with different projections that will be part of her inner world. The projections
appear randomly, as dreams, illusions, and passages of daily life mix with the dancer’s
present as she develops the story inside and outside the space.
The projections will have a certain evocation of the aesthetics of slow motion and the
spiritual sense of the recently deceased Bill Viola, one of the fathers of video art, who
referred to its ability to reveal and connect us with our interior, making the invisible
visible, and giving form to the formless.
