About the show

In the spring of 2020, in pandemic time, the Madrid choreographer Elena Córdoba, and the members of her company began collecting flowers and looking at them through a microscope, as a way of passing through a strange time. They reflected this in a blog. This experience is the origin of Criaturas del desorden, the new piece they present in Festival de Otoño. From this observation process, Córdoba and her team built a fiction series, through contemporary dance, confronting their bodies with the landscape forms of flowers.

About the Company

Elena Córdoba has worked in Madrid since the year 1990. Her work is based on the detailed observation of the body, the centerpiece and material of her work. In 2008, she started Poetic Anatomy, a creation cycle on the inside of the human body, which includes works and studies in different formats and which is still ongoing. She is especially interested in the act of dancing, in the need for it and its social survival. To dance, understood as a human manifestation, she has dedicated different collective projects such as: Is That What You Want?, Let Me In or the project Shall we dance? Her look at the body has accompanied some works by Antonio Fernández Lera, Rodrigo García, Carlos Marquerie, Silvia Pérez Cruz or Rocío Molina, among others. She also publishes stories, work diaries and brief essays. Currently she works with the body and botany within the framework of Botanical Fictions.
