BluePrint is a physical theater/dance work, which fabricates movement driven from layering and decaying process. Initial building blocks get decomposed in order to generate a bare bone structure. After some time, different composition unveils transforming the original idea. The theme of the final result of BluePrint subsequently unveiled our necessity for “isolation” and “distance” we involuntarily construct in our daily lives.
“Under the premises of absurdity, unreality and dream, the stories were framed in dialogues and repetitive scenes… industrial concept that creates dictated robotic movements to electronic beats, and transformed later to a social drama which manufactures subsidiary citizens.”
Jonathan Lomelí, Mural.com (Guadalajara, Mexico)“even when they moved like robots, the articulation of lower and upper body had its own vehemence.”
Alastair MaCulay, The New York Times“calling into the void.”
“it comes quirky movement… done in a nonchalant manner which exaggerates the comedy of it.”
Julie Fotheringham, iDanz.net“curiously quirky, playful vocabulary”
