Cosa is the final piece in my trilogy on ILLUSIONISM, where my research has led me to think about the ways that illusion connects with the essence of theatre, and to expose, on stage, convention and magic, reality and its double, action and fiction. This investigative process, begun in 2017, produced ¡AY! ¡YA! (2018), which looked at perceptive images from the perspective of the body, and The Watching Machine (2020), where I researched perceptive images from the perspective of light, shadow and reflection. For this piece, COSA, Intervenir un cuerpo, perceptive images are observed from the scenographic angle. In this way, the body becomes just another piece of equipment, seen as a thing and incorporated into the set.

Cosa is a dance piece made with an objectual dance body.

The choreography of things.
