SILENCIOS. ESTÉVEZ Y PAÑOS
06.10.23

Original idea and concept:
Rafael Estévez / Valeriano Paños

Artistic direction and choreography:
Rafael Estévez / Valeriano Paños / Juan Kruz Díaz de Garaio Esnaola

SILENCIOS is a duet that takes as one of its starting points a text from the book "A year from monday" by John Cage.

Estévez in the acute silence of Paños' nervous system, understanding the short circuits of a body that works to the point of exhaustion if necessary, in the search for beauty, definition and the perfection of infinite, harmonic, sensitive and stylised movement... Cloths in the grave silence of Estévez, that of the paths of the mass of his blood that slows down as dense as honey, loaded with ancestors of unimaginable origins and an intuition and affinity with past times, which due to his age he has not lived through, but which are the basis of his dance language. Both from stillness and from dance, from sound and silence, from the past and the present... from ourselves.
