Transmatria
(2022)PERFORMER IN `TRANSMATRIA´ BY ROCÍO MARANO.
Transmatria delves deeper into the Malambo - the traditional dance of the gauchos of Argentina - continuing the process that had already begun in December 2021 with its piece Matria. On this occasion, five malambo apprentices immerse themselves in an exchange with a specialist in the discipline, and approach the rhythms of zapateos, bombo leguero and boleadoras, at a crossroads between contemporary and traditional dance. The dialogue extends to ways of perceiving folklore that go beyond its colonial patriarchal traits and move away from Western aesthetics.
Inspired by the manifesto of Latinofuturism, Transmatria reveals itself as a trans-spatial-temporal and trans-disciplinary project. Dissident gaucho artists from Argentina and dancers from Berlin come into contact in a VR exhibition of three videos filmed with 360 cameras. The shootings lead us to interact with a 3D replica of the Wallmapu deserts in a format between performance and documentary.
