The fourth evening is all about appreciating the strange and unknown. We start off in a theatrical forest where nothing is as it seems, continue in the dreamy digital landscapes of futures and pasts and end in bizarre and fun beats powered by friendship.

Hector Espuela Pablo, performance-dance artist, will show her graduation piece f00l, also known as ‘the glitch of Pagliacci’ (Pagliacci is an opera written by Rugero Leoncavallo, 1892). five characters, SASHA, BB, CANDY, HANNAH, and LOLO start a journey of disidentification between virtuality and reality to re-compose their beings inside this dictionary no-opera, semi-digital interpretation. Questioning how we could decompose identity -from the self to the cultural object- to rebuild it and disrupt it through a network of artifacts of image building, code, pop digital references and reflexivity. Her interests and artistic practice are mainly based in the intertwining of queer identity, cybernetics and digital media. The performance is performed by impecable dancers; Carla Andrades Palacios, Aitana Bru Mas, Fani Pozidi, Marta Garcia Hernandez, Hector Espuela Pablo itself.
