MAZEZAM

A choreographic exercise for spatial refraction, where two bodies in uninterrupted rotation draw a path simultaneously static and progressive.

The repetition of gesture and light come to potentiate the transformation of the scenic and organic matters and to redefine the hypnagogic perception of time. The sound composition occupies the scenic space, resizing the cosmological site and approaching timbre strategies of concrete music and Japanese Noh Theatre.

Mazezam is inspired in the book “Bardo Thodol – Liberation Through Hearing During The Intermediate State”, developing the idea of the body in the state of transition.
