Three bodies with no gaze speak words in a sort of triangle in which the vertices move about coming closer together or moving farther apart...
In“amanecer alto cielo” he proposes the fading away of language as a stage element through a series of different textual practices that intertwine its material forms. Furthermore, he tackles the different qualities of vision and how these alter people’s bodies and perceptions of them, inspired by some of the practices surrounding the gaze proposed by the choreographer and video-artist Lisa Nelson. We have a dance of hands that look, eyes that touch, and bodies that erase themselves.
‘Whereas before I dealt with objects and with my own body in order to wear them down through insistent action, my current work revives the idea of the wearing-down and disappearance of a body – that totem that is seen as a physical, moral, and spiritual entity – but this time it is also a slippery body, i.e. textuality’, explains Nazario Díaz.
In “amanecer alto cielo”, three bodies with no gaze speak words in a sort of triangle in which the vertices move about coming closer together or moving farther apart, establishing equilateral, isosceles, or scalene relationships between them, organizing palpable and subjective distances between what is named and what is already starting to disintegrate.
