What forces—beyond the mechanical—operate on bodies? How do bodies with residual deformation work? La salida (The Exit) is a descent into the entrails of what hides in plain sight. A journey woven from fiction, ceaselessly rewriting its own destiny. It does not seek conclusive answers; instead, its aim is to topple the great totems of performance even as it toys with them. La salida envisions choreography as a field of tensions from which the unnameable and the invisible may surface. Through cosmic horror, social critique, the comic, and the monstrosity of the cute, La salida becomes an essay gone awry yet one where strange things take place.
Pepe Lolo combines a background in Materials Engineering (ISU) with studies in Choreography at the Institut del Teatre to develop an interdisciplinary practice traversed by the concept of micromaterial. Their time at SNDO (Amsterdam) expanded and reinforced the multiplicity of their interests. They are currently exploring a hybrid landscape that embraces choreography, music production, live mixing, horror cinema, mamarracheo, Jerez folklore, and the camp aspects of Americana, creating genderless transformative experiences. Resident at the creation factory La Caldera with the Barcelona Crea 2025 grant. They collaborate with fellow Barcelona-based artists: Carmela Muñoz (La Danza de las Desposeídas), Ferri Amaya (Piel de toro), and Blanca Tolsá (Parafonías).
