Acción y Destino ( 2026 )
Acción y Destino is a lighting choreography created in collaboration with creative studio próximo, as a reinterpretation of the performance developed by Dania and Rupert Clerveaux,
2025: Mostra Festival, Barcelona, ES
The fragile trace of destiny, was the narrative I was invited to accompany through a series of motorized sculptures and experimental lamps. From this, alongside Próxima, we choreographed a lighting and motor performance.
In alignment with my current practice of porosity, the slow companionship between movement and erosion was where I centered the series- how objects continue to act even as they wear down, how a gesture can persist through small mechanical repetitions. Lamps that hesitate before glowing, motors that stutter and continue, artifacts that seem to breathe through their own fragility.
The gentleness of failure, the subtle intelligence carried by things, in the process of undoing themselves.
The pieces were created using residues, glass, flowers, cables and leds.

“The piece is a reinterpretation of Verdi´s La forza del destino, an opera said to be cursed since it first premiered more than 150 years ago. Combining desintegrated string samples and weighty drones with Clervaux´s thudding drums and Dania´s celestial vocals, Acción y Destino is both delicate and epic, and forges a crawling impressionistic narrative through the choreography of repetition and ecstatic exploration of the duo´s respective lead instruments.
