About

Beyond the reality of bodies: celestial, animal, mineral, there is another reality, the result of human imagination, sculpted in the material world and validated by cultural processes. This reality, invented and materialised as a fortress to separate and protect the human from the rest of the manifestations of life, has been engendered in the world of ideas, in the same way that artistic expression has been, its imperfect replica, its unfinished double, its uncompleted mirror.

Reality and Fiction (Life and art) are the two heads of the same mythological being that inhabits the human brain and guides it in its process of emancipation from Nature.

Duality is in itself a dance movement, a struggle that is constructed between two, a choreography of tensions between the two hemispheres of the same entity that is shown in its total complexity, to reaffirm or reinvent its useful value, through the cooperation of opposites.

The show proposes an immersive journey, which transports the spectator to the limits of convention, at the dangerous intersection of doubt and surprise, in order to witness a formal infection that provokes the clash between the borders of two platonic worlds.

It is on stage, in front of an audience, that Lorena Nogal and Paula Comitre meet for the first time together. Their bodies, similar in that they move in the same geographical limit of a territory proclaimed as a country, speak two languages, conventionally
