GROUNDS
Creation: 2009
Duration: 13 minutes
Choreography and interpretation: Maïté Delafin
Live Music performed and composed by Poppy Ackroyd

Synopsis:

Grounds takes us on an original journey as the soloist poetically portrays an inner struggle. The atmosphere created by the tension and resistance of her movement alongside the deep and resonant tones of the live musical accompaniment is emotional and captivating.

"I am looking for a knot in myself and I will never find it because I know that there isn't one. I had set my heart on remaking the chaos in me, on starting from scratch. Yet I'm afraid that upon reaching zero there would be nothing to restart. So I'm searching for myself, as the doctor says. It doesn't mean much, I'm alive. I don't know what one has to do when he is alive"
The swallower swallowed
(Translation from French of L'avalée des avalés by Réjean Ducharme)

DEIXAME BOSTEZAR (Let me yawn)
Creation: 2008
Duration: 45 minutes

Coordination: Maïté Delafin
Choreography and interpretation:
Koldo Arostegui
Maïté Delafin
Laura Dorna
Ivan Montardit
Neus Villá

Original Music: Ziggy Campbell, Nicolas Salomon
Other musics: Ryoji Ikeda and Carston Nicolai/ Saturo Wono/ Fautline/ Ruben Rada
Text: Iván Torres Hdez

Synopsis:
In a state of waiting without aim or content, an empty temporality. A quiet and monotonous vertigo that reveals to us our universal insignificance. Being bored of things, of situations, of someone, of oneself. A sense of oppression, impatience, dissatisfaction and why not acceptance, and letting oneself yawn? The gesture of the work is based on everyday life situations of boredom and our responses thereto, reaching a new perspective.

L'EPAISSEUR DES CHOSES (The density of things)
Creation: 2007
Duration: 40 minutes
Direction: Maïté DELAFIN
Choreography and interpretation:
Koldo Arostegui
Maïté Delafin
Laura Dorna
Ivan Montardit
Neus Villá
Original Music: Nicolas Salomon
Stage Design: Roger Orra
Light Design: Israel Quintero
Synopsis:
The density of things is an introspective journey in the midst of shifting emotional landscapes, a process which arises from the constant thoughts that bombard us in everyday life and which inevitably awakens a longing for solitude, a retreat woven in inner conflicts, and contradictions that need untangling, so we can reconnect with the “outside world”. It's all about finding a balancing point, through experiencing the heaviness, the lightness and the density of things.
