This dance solo explores the human body as one of the possible bodies of water. Works by various authors, viewed through the lens of ecopoetry, serve as the starting point of an artistic process that investigates the connections between natural aquatic environments on one hand, and the human body and its actions on the other. By combining elements of poetry, video, photography, dance, and musical material, the work aims to create a fluid and illusory performative environment — like the body of water itself.

This piece touches upon certain current ecological issues, but without necessarily entering an activist sphere. The ecological value of the artistic research lies in the poetic level of performance, which develops in relation to theatrical conventions and through the pursuit of a hybrid performative form that generates diverse sensory experiences within the performance. The sensory has the potential to create relationships between the surrounding environment and humans, thus generating a different perception of nature (even when displaced into a theatrical context) and inviting a transformation in our relationship toward it.
