A preview of the latest work by the choreographer, who uses the term ‘Aurunca’ to allude to a railway station in southern Italy (Sessa Aurunca), one of the many unusual non-places he has passed through. The performance is closely related to ‘Imbermoves’, a photographic project that Aguirre dedicated to countless non-places: forgotten spaces as stages where he captured self-portraits in motion. This was the trigger for Aurunca, a project through which to investigate the relationship between people and their relationship with death and non-places. On the stage, translucent elements recall the unfolding of insect wings through techniques of object manipulation.
Death is an idea that some people think about more than others, but we have all thought about it at least once. Thinking about death means reflecting on something we have no control over, but also re-establishing priorities to reposition ourselves in life. It is not a matter of accepting the idea of the end and dancing like automatons towards our disappearance, but of being aware that disappearance is music and life its dance (José Francisco Suarez Lema).
