I.D.E.ALL PROJECTS
Brodmann Area 17 Final Outcomes
The artistic research project led to two VR Experiences. She Beauty, She Beast is a collaboration between choreographer and director Ana Sánchez-Colberg with aerial artist María De Azúa in an circus aerial work on silks that takes the audience to an aerial space they normally don't have access to. In Silencio en Movimiento Denisse Eliza, director of CoDa21 and dancer David Soler transpose the stage work to the emblematic orchard at El Bastión exploring the connection between nature and immersive technology.

Beauty Was The Beast
Presented as part of the 61st Festival of Puerto Rican Theatre of the Institute of Culture of Puerto Rico, Victoria Espinosa Theatre, 24-26 May 2024.
Beauty was the Beast parallels Beckett’s Krapp's Last Tape where the use of technology allows the character to visit and review, listen to and edit moments that are presented as part of a fragmented history. The technological devices that are visible as part of the scenography serve as portals to multiple realities where other spaces, both utopian and dystopian, are alluded to; the familiar and the unknown are intertwined, meaning is suggested by the synthesis of live performance, image, and sound without indicating a closed reading
