Videodanza
"A set of twins that mutate according to the space in which they find themselves, adapting to different forms of architecture, as well as nature, moving through different scenarios in Buenos Aires, day and night. The costumes are an essential element: apart from covering their bodies completely, they become an extension of the choreography".

Elías Araya Oyanedel
Artist
Dance in the public space and a focus on dissidences
Elías received independent training in dance and pedagogy, in addition to training processes abroad, such as Bolivia, Australia, Spain and Switzerland. He has focused on contemporary dance in the areas of improvisation, performance and elements of scenic composition. He has been invited to work with creators in the Valparaíso region, being part of interventions and scenic plays in conventional and non-conventional spaces. Since 2019, Elías has transited through the exploration of the space/street. Later he moved on to an inquiry based on identity and personal history linked to gender dissidence. This is how he gave life to Abelia, a character that manifests itself in the video-performance Panfletaria. He is currently part of the contemporary dance company LIMO and the Amateur Dance and Performance Company.
-Because it is an interesting proposal based on a reality where human identity and gender differentiation completely disappear. Its protagonists are two "twin" beings who merge and feedback on space and sound, in a staging full of symbolism and reflections on the differences that human beings seek to make.
-Because of its very attractive visual proposal, where costumes play a key aesthetic role. This gives birth to visual twins which transform and disappear, placing themselves at the limits of what is human, creating dialogues with their materiality.

Two beings without any cultural heritage interact with each other, in mimesis, mutating.
MUTAGENA: (Biology). A physical, chemical, or [and] biological agent that alters or changes [re-evolves] the genetic [vibrational] information of a (living) organism to adapt (resist/permeate).
The videodance piece MUTÁGENA presents two entities that have no cultural heritage; they are blank canvases that escape from hegemonic boxes, interacting with each other, in mimesis, mutating. Human beings have memories; in MUTÁGENA, this means accumulating fibers. What makes them move? They are "talking bodies", composed of receptor fibers that signify experiences, through a cycle of incorporation of what they observe and experience as a "digestive metabolism": mimesis, assimilation and mutation. Impulses and alterations that become movement, mutating into corporeal vestiges in each interaction with the environment.

»Una dupla gemela que va mutando según el espacio en el que se encuentra, adaptándose a distintas formas de arquitectura, asimismo de la naturaleza, trasladándose en distintos paisajes porteños, día y noche. El vestuario también es un elemento esencial: aparte de cubrir lxs cuerpxs por completo, pasa a ser una extensión de la coreografía«.

-Porque es una interesante propuesta que toma como base una realidad donde desaparecen por completo tanto la identidad humana como la distinción de género; sus protagonistas son dos seres “gemelos”, que se funden y retroalimentan del espacio y el sonido, en una puesta en escena llena de simbolismos y reflexiones sobre las diferencias que buscan marcar los seres humanos.
-Por su muy atractiva propuesta visual, donde el vestuario juega un rol sensible y estético. Este da nacimiento a las gemelas visuales que se transforman y desaparecen ubicándose en los límites de lo humano, creando diálogos con su materialidad.
