HURACAN is a performance that combines contemporary dance, sound and new technologies interaction. It rises up from the desire to create a special setting, halfway between surrealism and concrete, in which to reflect on topics such as birth, destruction and transformation. It is the proposal of a genesis, the appearance of a body marked by contemporaneity.

The title “huracan” comes from the name of the goddess of fire, wind and storms that is considered the creative spirit responsible of the origin of life.

The work develops in a succession of events that continuously change the energy and the space on stage. The body is treated as ductile material that undertakes a journey and passes through different physical and emotional states and atmospheres. Technologies and sound play a fundamental role as they define and follow the transformations of the body which is immersed in an interactive environment: it reacts and explores different patterns. The acoustic environment is generated live through the biophysical activity of the dancer. The drammaturgy of the work is constructed on three main scenarios: Moulding shapes which are inspired to tototemic and animal figures, do contract, vibrate and collapse, acquiring, gradually, an ibrid physical structure which opens to a post-human dimension.
