Spanish dancer and choreographer Joaquín Collado has much to anticipate with his new solo piece: he wants to examine dance not only physically, but also historically and theoretically. His research draws on iconic dance works, such as Mary Wigman’s »Hexentanz« (1929), »Solo« (1997) by William Forsythe or the ballet piece »L’après-midi d’un faune« (1912) by Vaslav Nijinsky. Joaquín Collado’s male and queer perspective as well as the written documentation of his research make this haunting solo a contemporary and dance-choreographic body-archive. Joaquín wants to know how to generate a corporeal presence that twists any conjecture about what it is, constantly evades categorization, and makes its dance a continuous blooming.
