Movement, Better Shared
- Date:
- February 2020
Movement, Better Shared is a musical journey that invites us to put ourselves in the bodies and memories of migrants; of those who, whether forced to do so or for pleasure, embarked on a vital journey in search of a new home. Thus through a sensitive sublimation between the plastic arts, music and performance, we embark on a journey from rootlessness, solitude and nostalgia to curiosity, happiness and heat of the first encounters with other migrants.
The works that make up the tour are: The Madonna of the Village (1938 - 1942), by Marc Chagall; New York City, 3 (unfinished) (1941), by Piet Mondrian; In Port (1917), by Albert Gleizes; Grand Central Terminal (1915), by Max Weber; Carnival (1946), Identity (1968) and Four Piece Orchestra (1944), by Ben Shahn and Billiard Players (1920), by Varvara Fedorova Stepanova.
Participating in the proposal are: Eva Guillamón and Sonia Megías, of Dúa de Pel; Marta Escudero, Rafael Tarjuelo and Rubén García-Casarrubios, of PlecTres; Juan Gabriel Amores and Juan Ernesto Santos, percussion; Ana Hormigos, flute; Jesús Fernández, clarinet; Beatriz Alcaine, wardrobe, Natalia Martz, sound technician; Eva Guillamón, dramaturgy and set design; Sonia Megías, composition and coordination; and the Education Area of the Museo Nacional Thyssen-Bornemisza, general coordination.
