​

F is part of the larger project entitled From A to Z that originally began with the idea of 6 duets A B C D E F 

 

In F (as in Field) the stage is offered as an open field welcoming the audience to observe our regular practice and subjects of research, time and the instant performance of thought processes, unadorned.

 

"....After a brief feedback at the table, an improvisational solo by Malvacías follows. Before each new sequence, which he provides with a clear beginning and end, he takes a longer break. So he gradually feels his way to a dance that he himself does not know yet. The latter gains momentum and persuasiveness, especially at the end of this small live performance. Malvacías opens his hands to the absence of the gaze and the torso's twisted torso. The man with the tiered black hair is reminiscent of a flamenco dancer; in his androgyny and fragility, but also to the transformative underlying art figure as Kazu Ohno once created."  by Christine Matschke.
