Unexpected dresses for undefined ceremonies is a piece that brings together textile design, performance and retail in the same theatre. It uses a unique clothing collection as the trigger for a commercial/choreographic process inside a hybrid social event that positions theatre as a place for action, reaction and continuous reinvention.
The piece establishes movement, inaugurates spaces, punctuates actions, emancipates images, enunciates curiosities and serves up textiles within a context of craftsmanship faced against the structures of mass production and commercialisation, creating a distance from the imposed relationships between fashion, trends, purchasing and continuous disposability.
We are trying to re-establish the audience’s visual relationship between space and body, changing this in real time and so enlarging their imagined perception.
