Last January was presented in the Raquel Ponce Gallery, the video-projection by Taller de Casquería, "Première" which was sponsored by METALOCUS.

The video is now available, below. More information on Première._

The recording was directed and produced by Taller de Casquería collective. "Premiére._" is a warning to the relationship between viewer, work and space in which both are related. Its main characters are two promising figures in the National Dance Company, both dancers are also responsible for the choreography, synchronized self-reflection and individual architecture.

A performance where the key message is to reflect on what is the role that museums must take viewers?, Is being active parts of the exhibition areas?, An attempt to eliminate the processional routes in museums.

"Record of a performative action inside a building under construction where the point of view corresponds to that of an external espectator, in which the support and referential system is arquitecture itself.

The performance arises as the consequence of the place itself and its joints, creating a series a movements in relation to these spaces, which involves the patron as the structure of the coreographical secuence.

The dancers, through their movements, narrate the proceses of spatial transformation, as do the scenarios condition the movements. A generating division of architecture is revealed as the antecedent and documentation of ocassioned transformations which converge with dance."
