LA RIBOT Conference: pieces, architectures and fetishes

A conference that proposes a tour through the work of La Ribot analyzing the different architectures that his pieces have generated. The radical questioning of the theater representation space is one of the main aspects that define the work of La Ribot. The elimination of the traditional separation between the scene and the room has given rise to a fascinating series of spatial constructions that redefine both the viewer’s place and that of the same dancer. Thus, through stories, documents and models, we will reflect on how, in the work of La Ribot, dance is presented as a choreographic practice that produces peculiar spatial relationships that essentially alter the conditions of theatrical representation.
