Post-show discussion



Lucía Bargados, Damián Saban, and Emiliano Falcone are Argentine contemporary dance artists whose collaborative work explores the intersections between movement, theatricality, emotional states, and cinematic imagery.

Their creations are characterized by an intense physical language and an interest in the emotional and psychological dimensions of the body. Drawing from contemporary dance, theater, audiovisual experimentation, and narrative structures, they develop works that investigate intimacy, memory, fear, desire, and human fragility.

Their projects have been presented in festivals, theaters, and independent artistic platforms in Argentina and internationally.


Bilis Negra


A man is haunted by the memories that inhabit his body—by a being who no longer exists. She appears in the most intimate corners of his home and envelops him in a dark dance of terror and compassion.

“In life, everything happens only a certain number of times. Living, the future feels close—and closeness tastes like disappearance.”

Bilis Negra explores grief, absence, memory, and emotional fragmentation through a haunting physical language situated between dance, theater, and psychological hallucination. The work unfolds like a fever dream in which memories take corporeal form and emotions become impossible to contain.

Through an atmosphere charged with tension and vulnerability, the performers navigate states of longing, fear, intimacy, and emotional collapse. Bodies approach and reject one another, trapped inside a choreography shaped by remembrance and loss.

The piece constructs a poetic and disturbing universe where the boundaries between reality and memory blur continuously, exposing the fragile mechanisms through which the body stores pain and desire.
