Boneless is an experimental and new project in Spain.
It has been selected by Madrid Crea 2021 to be developed within the context of residence in Matadero Madrid.
The project reflects on the monstrous of today by using theatrical representation, mechanics and sound.
In the 19th century, devices called “Autómatas” were created, that imitated the figure and movements of an animated being. They were instruments or devices that contained within themselves the mechanism that gave them a certain activity. At the same time, Mary Sheele, in her novel Frankenstein, also questioned the human ambition to generate life after death and the origin of the monster. Can we conceive the monstrous as everything that we cannot control, that we do not see and that could have serious consequences for us?
For Arte Santander we present a group of soft sculptures (textiles) that dialogue as pictorial bodies in space together with a video resulting from the recording of the performance developed by dancers where we seek to give life to the inert figures and also reflect on the sinister as forms foreign to the regular order of nature.
