Untitled is a choreographic installation at the intersection of audiovisual media and dance, set within the architecture of the Old Electric Plant Station. The work explores the condition of the stranger, the visitor, the outsider. The dancers’ bodies, always in transit and never fully anchored, create portraits suspended between presence and absence, between space and body. Movement unfolds through a Borges-like labyrinth, where paths are not only spatial but mental and existential. The body is never stable, always on the edge, a threshold between reality and its fiction.
Untitled is a kind of archive – a choreography of disappearance, repetition, and displacement, inviting the spectator to enter as an observer, a traveler, and a voyeur.
