Artists Matt McCreary and Charles Auguste will present an ephemeral intervention that seeks to reinterpret urban space, using the body as a tool for friction and interaction with the environment. Their proposal, which has gained popularity on social media, is now brought to the Valencian public.
“"Each intervention is conceived as an in-situ creation, developed from the specificities of the host location. Its vernacular conditions, ergonomic logics, modes of use, cultural tensions, and spatial configuration become constitutive materials of the choreographic writing itself."
This project, called SITE SPÉCIFIC, is based on a shared practice between observation and interaction, where the body acts as a critical and relational instrument capable of transforming how space is used and experienced. Unlike a closed choreography, their methodology involves constant adaptation to the particularities of each location.
The intervention, lasting between ten and fifteen minutes, will temporarily alter the perception of space through extreme movements and impossible balances. The artists aim to generate a sense of strangeness in everyday and familiar settings, inviting the public to view the environment from a new perspective.
“"The core of our practice lies precisely in this reciprocity: shaping space while, at the same time, being shaped by it. Each performance thus becomes a singular form, inseparable from the context that made it possible."
