SYNOPSIS

A dream is a territory without cartography, a threshold where time folds and logic dissolves.
There is a fleeting instant before waking, when reality becomes a mirage and the memory of dreams still pulses in the bones. This piece captures that in-between state, where the body seems to slip between dimensions, where gravity is uncertain and each moment stretches and contracts beyond the linear flow of time.

Here, dance becomes an arcane language, an ephemeral geometry tracing pathways between silence and cadence, between the tangible and the unattainable.
This journey unfolds as a threshold to mystery, where perception fractures and the spectator drifts in a boundless space.

PRESS

“…[Onírico] is quite possibly one of the finest solo dance performances one can witness. For its beauty, for its execution, for the precision of its choreography in tracing a clear path from the outset, and for the construction of the dreamlike world suggested by its title, crafted with true poetry of the body in dialogue with sound and light. A true conquest of the space of silence.”

– José Vicente Peiró (Las Provincias)
