23.06.2022 The Shortest Night of the Year


Artist
Mar Aguiló

Venue
CentroCentro, Madrid


“Let’s not try to create one choreography after another, but rather to seek the experience in each process.”

On the shortest night of the year, Mar Aguiló takes over the Patio de Operaciones of the Palacio de Cibeles to present a research process that continues the work started in her latest choreography premiered at the Teatros del Canal, Stella. Once again she focuses on emulating the mechanisms of the night to reveal the movement and deepest emotions of the performers, but this time leaving the stage and therefore losing the nocturnal fictional space. The result is a choreographic device made up of a dozen dancers who concentrate their energy upon reaching a state of trance. The choreography identifies each artistic subject with their own performative development and confronts them with a more complex structure: the visible drive of the group to which they belong.

​​Since joining the National Dance Company, Mar Aguiló has performed leading roles in works such as Cor Perdut and Arcangelo by Nacho Duato or Artifact by William Forsythe and has worked with choreographers such as Mats Ek, Ohad Naharin, Alexander Ekman, Marcos Morau, Johan Inger, Iván Perez among others. She is currently a choreographer and creative director of ELAMOR with whom she has created pieces such as Alicia, Teatro de La Abadía, Stella, Teatros del Canal, Prólogo, Real Jardín Botánico, Equilibrio, Museo del Prado and E gira tutto intorno alla stanza, CaixaForum.
