Malas Carnes is a solo for the stage which delves into a physical and conceptual drama focussing on the objectification of the female body. The piece explores presence, desire and the fall as the key elements of an investigation that puts the body under constant tension. At the centre there is a body that works in opposition, activated by a fall as its opening gesture and as a mechanism for transformation, alternating between consciousness and unconsiousness.
The project expresses a play on perception through three simultaneous lenses: the body live, tangible and present; its distorted, fragmented projection; and the image through the medium of a screen, blown up despite the distance. These presences live together like ghosts of one body, revealing the layers of opinion, construction and external gaze that pass over it.

These presences live together like ghosts of one body, revealing the layers of opinion, construction and external gaze that pass over it.
In this multiple landscape, the piece investigates the borders between identity and representation, between flesh and virtuality. The falls, repetition and interaction with sound and image dismember and reconstruct the body, generating a state where over-definition leads to dehumanisation.
Through a continuous masquerade, the body adapts to imaginary scenarios that evoke everyday experiences of the female body, demonstrating the mechanisms of self-objectification that often work unconsiously. The residency will consolidate this first phase of creation, establishing a coherent framework for the performance in which body, sound and image converse within a clear structure of rhythm and composition, in collaboration with the musician and visual designer Samuel Ramis.
