PROJECTE CÈL.LULA #4 SUPERMEDIUM
A CHOREOGRAPHY BY NÚRIA GUIU
Núria Guiu’s new work, accompanied in the creation by Norwegian choreographer Ingri Fiksdal, is called Supermedium and is part of the ultimate CÈL·LULA project, produced by Mercat de les Flors. The piece is a large-format version inspired by Medium, a solo that the two choreographers created in 2022 and which will open the 2023-24 season at Mercat de les Flors. In the history of dance up to the present day, there are different approaches to the embodiment of the virtual or invisible. Witches or mediums have always been women associated with the fringes of society and superpowers.
The piece investigates the metaphor of the ghost, the creation and stage performance as a ritual, the body as a channel and archive that invokes other bodies. Supermedium is also a metaphor for today’s Superballerina. The super dancer who lives on the threshold of what is a clandestine job and a valued, remunerated job with the rights of any other worker. In SUPERMEDIUM eight dancers will be the channelers of movements and dances that invoke a singularity crossed by a common past and present. An exorcism that burns, expels and invites to rebirth the dance, the ballerina and the live arts of the future.
