GAZE
Nominated to “Revelatory Performance“ in the Andalusian Dance Awards (Premios PAD)

Gaze is a 20-25 minute performance that explores themes of attraction, sensuality, and frustration, with the act of observation—the gaze—at its core. Through movement and dance, six performers, each embodying different characters and distinct personalities, explore intimate relationships and interactions. The piece incorporates multiple sensory elements, with a soundscape composed by Antonio Maza. Live video projections offer alternative perspectives, shifting the audience's position of observation within the performance. Rather than following rigid structures, Gaze evolves organically, transforming the stage into a shared, intimate space. The scenography centers on a white 140x190 mattress. By merging sensory exploration with physical and emotional storytelling, Gaze invites the audience to reflect on their roles as both observers and participants, engaging with the themes of attraction, frustration, love, and individualism.

There is an installation accompanying this performance called Public Intimacy. Where you are inside a set for observation and exposure at the same time. Here is a video work where you can meet the characters of this performance when the piece is not going on. This video work is a collection of six individual performances, one per performer where you can get to observe their personality in an intimate way.

When we are in public spaces, we have an audience and we are the audience, we take and we give - this can be simplify to the simplicity of breathing; breath in, breath out - just be. I consider “being”a gift we give to others and to ourself.
With this installation my aim is to bring the intimate to the public. I consider intimacy a way of listening, a way of looking and gazing. When we are listening ourself we are intimate with ourselves. Listening is a way of reading that can be done not only with your ears but with the touch, the smell, the taste and the looking. In this performance I explore the intersection between being intimate with ourself and with the people around.
