Writing the end of conceptual dance with the Z, a reference to Yvonne Rainner’s work TRIO A (1966), as a starting point, Luqui Lagomarsino appropriates the quote: “the mind is a muscle”, as a trigger. From here, the work opens possible utopias about where dance is today, by means of a revision of history placing the imaginary in opposition to the conceptual. The answer creates the possibility of collapse and improvises on what it means to work with the literal aspect of certain things. Doing away with the binarisms between concept and fantasy, the piece has been created from a process which has brought together Tarot cards, queer phenomenology, Argentine cumbia and cheesy romanticism, among other practices.
Luqui Lagomarsino is a dancer and choreographer, born in Buenos Aires and based in Amsterdam, where he trained at the SNDO – School for New Dance Development. He looks for new ways of writing dramaturgies, working on reorientations, choreographic de-compositions (his own or social), the future as a subjective potential, while understanding movement as a necessary artifice within our language. He is the creator of pieces such as Cosas caen fuerte and Literal.
