‘Anatomía y Estrategia’ is a choreographic installation by Natalia Fernandes, where the dancer's body is transformed into a living sculpture that, while moving, questions the limits of the body as an artwork. The piece seeks an attentive and vehement gaze at the body that inhabits the space between rationality and nature, in this constant negotiation of concepts that fight and complement each other within each human being.

No reservations are made for this action; entrance will be organized according to the space’s capacity throughout the 3 hours of uninterrupted presentation.

NATALIA FERNANDES is a choreographer and performer from São Paulo, living and working in Madrid since 2017. With a degree in dance from the State University of Campinas (UNICAMP), in Brazil, Natalia also complemented her training with different courses and workshops in Brazil, the USA and Germany. Since 2013 she has been teaching classes on ‘Invented Anatomy: contemporary dance’ in different cities in Europe, Africa and America. She is a visiting professor at the Ana Laguna Conservatory, in Burgos. In 2016, she started a project of classes on body awareness and contemporary dance for refugee women together with the CEAR (Spanish Commission for the Reception of Refugees), in Madrid.

‘Anatomía y Estrategia’ project was the winner of the "Me, Myself & I" award at the 29th Madrid Choreography Contest.

"serenity rave is a place, a heartbeat, something that is not visible but is present. It would be something like a suspension that remains, that does not crystallize and that in itself has the ability to mutate in order to open the multiple possibilities that we can find in what we do not yet know and that, perhaps, scares us. A place where the body is an ambiguous territory that makes us perceive the world but not completely and, in which, dance acts as a medium. A rift in which past, present and future converge. A way to invoke dancing all these times together, becoming one, which is sustained forever. serenity rave is the night in which we learned to speak with the body, in which we were overwhelmed and something threatened ruin; It is the night I discovered that my arm was his leg and my head was a ghost, and I, who was standing there dancing, I keep dancing."

Fardo proposes an encounter between the sound experiment, contemporary dance and the gallery environment.

Fardo offers an experience without passive subjects.

Fardo recognizes the intimate relationship between the contemporary subject and a kind of technological sameness: the mobile that one possesses.

Fardo plays at dismantling the mobile shutdown protocol during the show.

Fardo promotes the active use of mobile phones as a sound source for the show.

Fardo invites public attendees to establish and maintain the sound plot by activating any or all of the variety of alarms installed on their mobiles at will.

Fardo seeks an experience in which contemporary dance will act as a catalyst for such complexity.

Therefore:

Fardo presents the dancer and choreographer Poliana Lima who will be in charge of managing the obstacles, encounters and possibilities inherent to the dynamic tension offered by an art gallery with an ongoing exhibition, an active audience randomly scattered around it, and a state of unpredictable sound.
