Inestable. Lali Ayguadé Company

Lali Ayguadé Company performs on 24 and 25 October at Centro Danza Matadero - CDM, a show that explores how social networks shape our identity and perception of the world, generating disconnection and anxiety.

Directed by Lali Ayguadé and featuring performers Anna Calsina, Joana Gomila, Linda Pasquini, Diego Sinniger, Piero Steiner, Lisard Tranis and Akira Yoshida, the piece examines how we construct our image online, showing only what we want others to see while hiding our doubts, fears and negativity.

Thus, although each profile seems unique, they all end up following similar patterns, trapped in the constant pursuit of likes and comments that feed an impression of emptiness and dependence. At the same time, real life carries on, ignored, as we focus on which filter best suits our latest photograph.

In this way, the piece deepens that sense of instability that arises when we try to reconcile our real identity with our digital one, weaving a reflection on how technology transforms our perception of the world, our relationships and authenticity itself, inviting the viewer to question which part of their life they are really living.
