Warmi Danzaq

The scissor dance is a 16th-century magical-religious dance and ritual in which the dancers act as mediators between humans and deities. It originated in the Ayacucho, Apurimac, and Huancavelica regions and began to gain popularity in Lima in the 1980s, during the waves of migration from rural areas to the city.

La sombra del vuelo

It looks like it's going to rain. Yes, no doubt about it. Let's ask the horizon... over there, behind us, where the sun sets. The sun in the city hides in the concrete. The sun in nature, like consciousness, dwells in the darkness of our complex being. There will be no perpetual peace on earth or in heaven. To sleep in peace, to rise at dawn.

Chøja

The dirt road divides the soybean fields from the cornfields. Sometimes, when the hybrid crosses, the chøja is born. The seed is transmitted between the legs of a toad, as long as the cold of a ghost or the rotten teeth of a pig don't stop its leap. Its mission accomplished, the expansion of the chøja continues. It grows surrounded by isolation, knowing how to dilute itself, yet remaining. The erotic man, in league with the toad's feces, smells where to place his wire, but doesn't point out the impossible. Meanwhile, hidden within the fall, the chøja mummifies the original crop. Where is it? How much do I have left?

Bifurcaciones

Urban symphonies are a genre within experimental and documentary cinema: architectural recordings, everyday actions, travel diaries. This film-performance shares scenes of Los Angeles filmed in 2022. Geometric forms, human movement, glazes, reflections, the interplay of filters, and the transition from black and white to color expand the image, opening multiple windows. A pulse-pounding depiction of this great metropolis.

An Unholy Dance

Every winter, a small town in Castilla-La Mancha called Luzón transforms into a little hell. Its inhabitants, dressed as devils, venture into the darkness and roam its streets with horns, bells, and smeared with soot. Una dança non sancta could have been just an anthropological documentary. Instead, it delves into the inferno with the town’s residents to participate in and immortalize this unholy ritual.
