A woman’s body is at play, surprising, distorting, and endlessly reproducing itself. At the center of a larger scene, a Chinese pole, the backbone on which everything rests, supports and breaks down a being on the edge of humanity, between its own limits and infinity. Faces hidden beneath each other, a thousand personalities are created and undone, loved and hated. Fragments of self that each one can recognize on stage. Living means immersing oneself in a constant process of change, where we observe each other, destroy, and reinvent ourselves in a balance between what we do and what others impose on us, always acting in our own becoming.
Vinka Delgado, trained in fine arts, has always challenged the static nature of the discipline. Seeking to use the body as a dynamic tool guided by movement, she expanded her practice into circus and theater. At the intersection of visual and performing arts, she now creates puppets, masks, costumes, and scenography.
Since childhood, Diego Hernando has been driven by curiosity to explore how things work. After earning degrees in education and sound engineering, he became a video and light technician. His interest in circus and theater shapes his work, where he uses technology to amplify stage languages through light, video, and interactivity.
