alternatifs programs
seeks to address
itself as much to the public at large as to an initiated audience, to
all lovers of contemporary art, adapting the type of performance (from
the point of view of production, staging and lighting) to the space in
which events take place.
For its next
projects, will be touring
an 80 minute program presented as a continuous performance, alternating
solo or duo instrumental pieces with dance episodes to live or recorded
music, using also electronic effects and video projections.

music
The musical conception of the show is based on the idea of succession of several entire
pieces, with their own thematic and expression, which belong to different categories:
Pieces for solo or duo
that explore special technical-expressive possibilities of instruments,
performed live in the show by soloists whose performing skills involves
also theatrical style;
Pieces for various instrumental
combination, used on the tape, that become the musical metaphoric
support for the choreographic moments.
The music
of the show, in its global sense, covers a wide range of expressive colours
between tension and release, poetic and dramatic, temporal and atemporal,
seeking and contemplating, using varios musical means from archetipal
or folkloric melodies to noize sonorities.
