Unarmoured. Clara Furey

Unarmoured, the production with which Canadian choreographer Clara Furey arrives in Madrid at the Centro Cultural Conde Duque, stems from a physical investigation into water and takes it to the stage.

This existential dance piece, by Canadian choreographer Clara Furey, premieres in Madrid and is structured around the different states of being. Its starting point is a physical exploration of water, which the production turns into an inner sea spread across the stage floor. According to the approach, the work seeks to join and reconcile aspects that had previously remained apart, through a fluid, carnal chaos in which the waves suggest the infinite as a transformative emotion.

The performers appear as disquieting sculptures moving in a garden of resonance, where the bodies vibrate to the rhythm of waves of light and sound. The enveloping sound composition is by musician Twin Rising. The inspiration comes from the poem Waterline by Ocean Vuong, whose lines on water serve as the motto of the creation.

Through a sensual treatment in a gentle tone, the piece champions the right to eroticism on its own terms. The show is performed at the Centro Cultural Conde Duque, a cultural centre in Madrid.
