Navaja

A unique dance piece, awarded with the Premi Dansacat at Best Show 2024

‘Navaja’ presents a scenic self-portrait on sex-affective poetics in self-learning dictated by the algorithm in SADCUM adolescence. Five characters called LOINKS embark on a (non)journey framed in an abandoned half-programmed demo.
