The pictures of this play speak of the exhibition of bodies and desire. The fantasy
that surrounds the act of seduction, as a curvaceous journey from nothing to
everything. A shot on target.
A figure awaits us on stage to take us into the depth of a fragmented story, but it
comes together through the concepts of necessity and hunting, exactly as advertising
does in the media, creating need and void.
It appears to be narrated by this observer who perceives life in a poetic and fantastic form. It looks at two characters who contort the flesh and its idealization, showing through their dance the care, use, confrontation, and the undone.

The transformation of real images in robotics, presented in the beginning of the
proposal, invites us to overcome the impulses and their weaponry. Increasingly
accustomed to living with the irreal image, El Arco is a parallelism to the digital
worlds, the conquest, their distortions, and some outcomes.
At an audiovisual level, the cultural times intermingle and clash, and at the same
time speak to us of one feeling, before and now. Two universes and their impulses,
which connect and disconnect. The current music and the frequencies of bygone
centuries are distanced in times of use, but not in the human depth that sustains
them.
