El proyecto se plantea como un Concierto Escénico Transdisciplinario, que incluirá tres materiales de investigación y ejecución:
Cuerpo, Sonido y Objeto. Los creadores comparten su viaje emocional y los sentimientos contrastantes de aislamiento e intensa unión, miedo y confianza .
No hay libertad sin límites…
Picaderø es un encuentro con el origen.
Es un espejo de la mezcla cultural que surge a través de los hechos históricos y su
adaptación a través del tiempo.
Es también una combinación armónica de lenguajes, entre lo tradicional y lo contemporáneo.
Es una imagen del constante desafío entre la esencia salvaje y el animal domesticado.
El equipo busca explorar y crear sus propios rituales… De emancipación y esperanza.
Este extenso proceso de investigación, es en sí mismo un ritual.
El diseño del escenario y las instalaciones de modulación y amplificación del sonido, proporcionan el espacio para la exploración y la realización del mismo.

Picaderø is a meeting with the origin. It is a mirror of the cultural blend that arises from historical events and their adaptation throughout time. It is also a harmonic merging of languages, between the traditional and the contemporary. It is an image of the constant challenge between the wild essence and the domesticated animal.
The team seeks to explore and create its own rituals… Of emancipation and hope. This extensive process of investigation is in itself a ritual. The stage design and the installations of modulation and sound amplification provide the space for their own exploration and realization.
Nuestras vidas están llenas de exploración en movimiento y en la búsqueda de objetivos. Al igual que la rotación de una peonza, el movimiento es lo que nos proporciona estabilidad. Durante años, hemos estado viajando, trabajando en diversos lugares del mundo y abriendo nuestra mente a través de la confrontación con lo nuevo.
los rituales pueden catalizar una experiencia trascendental que nos conecta con nuestro ser interior, con el ser humano y con el universo que nos rodea. Los rituales logran crear espacios de seguridad y estabilidad mental sin importar las circunstancias. Un ritual nos lleva necesariamente nos lleva a través de tres fases: La separación de las creencias antiguas, el estado de transición o desorientación y, finalmente la transformación, que se abre y nos empuja a través de nuevas puertas.
Durante nuestra investigación y residencias creativas, queremos someternos a este proceso nosotros mismos. Queremos procesar nuestra percepción particular del movimiento y la estabilidad y dejarlos cobrar vida.
Motivation
Our lives are filled with exploration with movement and with the pursuit of objectives. Just like a spinning top, for each of us it is movement which provides stability. For years, we have been traveling, working in places all over the world and enhancing our mind through confrontation with the new.
The rituals, can catalyze a transcendental experience that connects us with our inner self and the universe around us. A ritual necessarily leads us through three phases: The separation from deadlocked beliefs, the disoriented state of transition and finally the transformation, which opens and pushes us through new doors.
During our research and residencies, we want to explore and immerse ourselves in rituals, We want to process our particular perception of movement and stability and make them come alive.
The performance will be arranged as a transdisciplinary scenic concert, involving three materials of investigation and performance: body, sound and object. The stage will reflect this transdisciplinary. It will be equipped with a metal and wood constructed mobile platform in the shape of a giant spinning top and an eloquent array of microphones that can record all sounds produced onstage. A single artistic performer will take up the center of the stage and the focus of the audience.
The spinning top serves as one of the objects of exploration for performer and sound artists during our research and show. It has the capacity to alter from stability to movement, thus changing the architecture of the space while it is being manipulated. The dramaturgy of the performance will be developed ongoingly during the show, responding to the performer’s exploration of speed, spinning and effects of weight on the spinning top. Balance as a non-static condition will be investigated in terms of personal vulnerability, with the body having the capacity of resolving situations of insecurity through organically reorganizing itself. The top of a pole in the middle of the platform gives the opportunity for suspension of the hair hanging artist. She can then explore the modes of movement around this pole, on the platform, in brief moments of flight and levitation in a low-flying dance at a 45° angle.
The motive of the elements will play a huge role in this exploration, as the performer transits from air to earth when she goes from a dynamic, dance-like flight to a deeply rooted connectivity with the ground beneath her. Yet, moments of trust in the stability of the object can quickly melt like ice under her feet and leave her shaky again. During the research process, we will engage with Pre-Hispanic sacred dances and techniques of foot percussion. The dances will represent a return and re-connection to the performer’s origins, but also be part of the cleansing rituals performed onstage.
The sounds produced with her body will add up to a rhythmic sound scape. More to that, it will reflect the experienced states of balance on an auditive level as it will grow disharmonic and out of tune when the performer is instable and harmonic and in tune when the performer has found her balance, thus making the performance a space for transdisciplinary experiment and experience.
The Object/ El Objeto
The mobile object structure is based on a spinning top that can rotate on a point. The object works from an impulse, its tip is located on its gravitational center perpendicular to the axis of rotation and thanks to the external impulse it is balanced on a point thanks to the angular speed that allows the development of the gyroscopic effect.
Based on this idea is that the structure of tu π (toupie) is created.
Picaderø
English
The mobile structure, in addition to being a playful artifact, becomes, for the purposes of this research, an equestrian arena where equines are taken for domestication.
Allegorical symbol that represents the eternal swing of freedom and slavery that are drawn in the history of the human.
Español.
La estructura móvil además de ser un artefacto lúdico, se convierte para los fines de esta investigación en un picadero ecuestre donde los equinos son llevados para su domesticación.
Símbolo alegórico que representa el eterno vaivén de libertad y esclavitud que se dibujan en la historia del humano.

Agricultural revolution, the first step from HOMO SAPIENS to what it is today, this complex process of “evolution” is carried out through domination and power, also opening the way to wonderful discoveries and constant adaptation.
The present moment is no exception in the face of a panorama of uncertainty and discrimination as well as of union, struggle and hope where the doors of science and technology are open to a future that can already be touched, while the “human being “it suffers a social distancing and the capitalist system expands without respect for life and the planet that contains us.
Español Revolución agrícola, primer paso del HOMO SAPIENS a lo que es en la actualidad, este complejo proceso de “evolución” es llevado a cabo mediante la dominación y el poder, abriendo paso también a maravillosos descubrimientos y una constante adaptación.
El momento presente no es la excepción ante un panorama de incertidumbre y discriminación al la vez que de unión, lucha y esperanza donde las puertas de la ciencia y la tecnología están abiertas a un futuro que ya se puede tocar, mientras el “ser humano” sufre un distanciamiento social y el sistema capitalista se expande sin respeto por la vida y el planeta que nos contiene.
Riendas/Reins
English
Object of control. Taking the reins of our own lives? Do we let ourselves be guided or are we victims of manipulation?
Español
Objeto de Control. Tomamos la riendas de nuestra propia vida? Nos dejamos guiar o somos manipulados?
Movement, Balance, Instability…
Rather than answers, they are questions we seek to debate, investigate, explore, and raise awareness of, in order to reach sublimation through art. Rituals can act as a catalyst for transcendental experiences that connect us to our inner being; they connect the human being to the universe surrounding us. Rituals are able to create safe spaces and mental stability regardless of the circumstances. A ritual must take us through three phases: the separation from old beliefs, the state of transition or disorientation, and finally, the transformation that opens us and pushes us through new gates.
