THE PROJECT
"I am a dancer and I had never seen my parents dance before.
Doing research for a project in which I needed to learn to dance like in the sixties, it occurred to me to record them dancing, and watching them, I discovered things about them that I didn't know. Stopping to watch your parents is not something we do very often and this little act is the germ of many questions that arose in that moment. This is an investigation that began in the living room of my parents' house and that little by little has been transferred to other rooms, thus building something that has to do with emotion and memories. There were generations who related to each other through the body, who danced a lot and very well, and that made them different from us. I want to know how far these differences go and what I can learn from those people who fell in love dancing.
Have you ever seen your parents dance?"
