About the show

Jinete Último Reino is the name of a research and a trilogy of self-contained autonomous that, in turn, are Fragments of an extended future work by María Salgado and Fran MM Cabeza de Vaca to conclude this project that they began in January 2017. Between music, poetry and performance, Jinete Último Reino is a non-linear, nor narrative journey of sound and language, on desire, about the formation of any subjectivity between desire, the norm, repression and rebellion.

Frag. 3 speaks of all types of nights -that is, where things change their shape so that they don’t remain the same in the morning. Of desire as the driving force for political emancipation. Of feminism as the subject of the era. Of what needs to be done inside ourselves to say yes and no against the disproportionate number of mandates that are ordered to us. Of the distortion, deviation and emotions that the night brings to all who give themselves up to it. To achieve this, the audience is invited to enter a scenic space with no front, outlined by quadraphonic sound, where they may listen in an active and focused way to a sound and light display that makes an evening pass in barely one hour without betraying its secret. Live voice is the departure point to build electronic music and narrate an expanded nocturnal experience, beyond the contemporary sub-cultures that frequent it today, by words from popular verse that already told and built desire on nights and dances and encounters happened when there were no clubs, or raves or electricity.

About the Company

María Salgado (1984) and Fran MM Cabeza de Vaca (1976) have been working together in Madrid since 2012. Their common work focuses on the idea of the audiotext as a confluence between poetry, language, music, sound art and performance. Together they have created an important body of works, essentially on two research zones: Hacía un ruido (2012-2016), which explores the global cycle of political disobedience of 2011, and which took the shape of a book (Frases para un film político, 2016), a record, an instrumental piece for an ensemble, a sound installation and a stage piece that toured very different contexts such as CDN Valle Inclán, Espacio Naranjo (Madrid), 16 Beaver (New York) and LARVA (Guadalajara, México); and Jinete Último Reino (2017-...), which explores subjective disobedience, and likewise has generated an instrumental piece for an ensemble, posters (Manifesto, 2018), sheet music, a sound art piece for Radio Reina Sofía (Negro, 2016), an octaphonic installation exhibited as Tabakalera, the audiovisual Lullaby for this Little Age (Bergen Assembly, 2020) and its installation version (Politics of Life, WKV Stuttgart, 2020) and two stage pieces lasting 60 minutes, Frag. 3 and Frag. 2, launched, among other spaces, at the Mercat de les Flors, Museo Reina Sofía and MACBA.
