This piece will be given in a lecture hall, but it is not a lecture. This piece will be exhibited in a museum, but it is not a painting. This piece will be presented in Madrid, but the performer embodying it is not from Madrid.
This piece may speak to us about something not of this world. This piece may be a performance. There may be a bit of dancing in this piece. Something or someone may be missing from this piece.
There will be at least one person in this piece. This person may be wearing sunglasses.
Another thing that is not a lecture could present a body which operates while moving towards a state of uncertainty and speculation. A body suspended in a liminal space, where logics may not meet desired expectations.
Within the programme scheduled for International Museum Day, the artist and dancer Manuel Rodríguez is presenting a staged work in the Museum’s Auditorium. In it, he reflects on how performative action emerges from the practice of dance and in other contexts in which a dialogue is established with the spectator, for example an auditorium, which is normally a place for lectures, presentations and debates.
Rodríguez will thus focus on an exploration of liminal spaces in which uncertainty is seen not as an obstacle but as a potential source of creativity.
