This piece is a ramble through a corporeal memory composed of imprints, trails and holes made by time. One of its special features is that it has been developed over a period of six years. The process’s duration was chosen to allow time to truly test its performers’ body memory. The resulting work consists of four different accompanied solos, created successively year after year and assembled progressively to form a whole that has grown like a plant over the years. Composed of layers, residues accumulated over time, experiences and footprints, the work plays with both emotions and events.
Olga de Soto is a choreographer, dancer and dance researcher who currently lives in Brussels. She began her work in 1992, focusing on choreographic research and writing, creating numerous works in different formats. In the early 2000s, she began a series of creative projects closely tied to lengthy research and documentation processes outside of the classic logics of production systems. Her work has been performed in a score of countries. Olga is invited on a regular basis to participate in the academic framework, sharing her corporal and documentary research methodology in universities in Europe, Latin America and the United States.
