Dancer, teacher and creator Federica Porello defined her specific practice in NOWHEN that she had been developing since she presented the work WeWood in 2018 with Xavi Moreno and Marine Broise, the starting point for what they called the dance of objects. NOWHEN is a solo in which Xavi Moreno himself (lighting design), Fanny Thollot (soundtrack) and Pep Aymerich (construction of stage objects) also collaborate from the outside. Federica’s also got Leo Castro, María Muñoz and Pep Ramis close, along with the Mal Pelo, the company she’s worked with on several shows.

Words, movements, sounds, lights, objects, ideas… items at the service of the stage that sound like an orchestra, like a sum. Before reaching the final result, she has tried to separate them from each other and to isolate the elements typical of each item (an action, a sound, a focal point), including silence, immobility, darkness. She then experimented with union in different ways, creating chaotic or harmonious atmospheres, depending on whether the ingredients were attracted to each other or repelled. This continuous process of union and separation, dissolution and resolution is at the heart of this production, which seeks to accept, in short, a totality of differences of which we are part. The character that Federica embodies crosses her environment and lets it cross through her, following a tailor-made path that unfolds, a path that starts nowhere and finishes nowhere, which is like saying that it neither starts nor ends. Her sole goal in this fluctuating environment is to remain on the subtle line that separates and joins gravity and lightness.
