All life comes from water. But human beings have long since developed away from this medium. Fascinated by this “alienation”, the young Chilean-Dutch choreographer Rodrigo Sobarzo de Larraechea locates his body underneath an imaginary water surface. In a place where the dynamic qualities of movement in the fluid medium skip time in certain conditions. Hands move across a plastic curtain, over and over again, with increasing speed, until the strokes sound like panting and the objects on stage appear to be transforming.
RODRIGO SOBARZO DE LARRAECHEA
Rodrigo Sobarzo de Larraechea studied choreography at the SNDO in Amsterdam, and theatre at Universidad de Chile in Santiago. He was a recipient of the DanceWeb scholarship in Vienna in 2009, and a residencent at the Jan van Eyck Academy in Maastricht working on his creation S ITE S in 2014.
Sobarzo seeks with his work to envelope its viewer into visual introspection. He has a strong interest for subculture and subcultural production by means of connectivity throughout various internet platforms.
