Transmutation. New creation by Antonio Ruz

Taking as its starting point a selection of black-and-white photographs from the Museum's collection by various 20th-century artists, the work proposes an evocative interplay through dance in which the dancers engage in dialogue with the architecture, light, and music in different spaces of the Museum.

World premiere

Tickets €10. Unnumbered seating, audience in exhibition halls. 40 min.

"For years, my passion for photography has made this art form an important creative tool as a choreographer; the main source of inspiration for some of my works. I have always been fascinated by the exercise of transforming a flat image into the three-dimensionality of the body in motion and the way it connects the past and present." Antonio Ruz

Taking as its starting point a selection of black-and-white photographs from the Museum's collection by various 20th-century artists, chosen solely on the basis of body/action, the work proposes an evocative game through dance in which the dancers interact with the architecture, light, and live music in different spaces. An ephemeral and suggestive piece in which the audience will be guided through a choreographic and sound installation.
