FREE ADMISSION


Eleonora and Anita have known each other for over 10 years, during which time they have shared a passion for aerial dance, and a minimalistic aesthetic, elements that have accompanied them through various collaborative projects.

Eleonora holds a Master’s degree in Contemporary Circus from DOCH in Stockholm. She is the founder of La Tribu Performance collective and El Cuarto Rojo studio. Her work moves between performance and installation, focusing on themes such as the suspended body and the space surrounding it.

Ana specialized in aerial dance in England, at the Gravity Circus Centre in London. Since then, she has taught, performed, produced, and directed works that experiment with the fusion of multiple disciplines, ranging from performance and physical theatre to dance combined with visual and sound arts.


Chiaro Oscuro


 Chiaro Oscuro is a hybrid stage work that explores the relationship between body, voice, and architecture through a site-specific approach. Originally conceived in response to the spatiality of the Madetojan Hall lobby, the piece unfolds as an adaptable proposal that engages with different architectural environments, transforming each space into an active component of the dramaturgy.

The work creates an immersive experience in which performers and audience share the same plane. Its non-frontal arrangement allows the action to unfold in multiple directions, activating both ground and vertical space while revealing new perspectives of the site, accompanied by a powerful polyphonic choir.

Each adaptation of Chiaro Oscuro responds to the specific conditions of the site: dimensions, materials, natural light, and proximity to the audience. In this way, the work is reimagined within every context, proposing a unique experience.

The result is a piece that invites the audience to inhabit space in an expanded way, and to experience a renewed relationship between sound, movement, and architecture.
