HEBRA

~

[Paula Quintana / 2024]

In collaboration with Graner, the performance Hebra is presented at the Mies van der Rohe Pavilion in dialogue with the artistic intervention Suspendre el Cel by Brazilian artist Caio Reisewitz.

HEBRA is a solo piece set in a pavilion full of tropical plants that transcends the boundaries of dance, uniting the dancer’s body with the vegetal and architectural bodies.

HEBRA consists of three scenes, each 15 minutes long, located in three different spaces within the Mies van der Rohe Pavilion: the exterior pond, the interior of the pavilion filled with tropical plants, and the roof of the pavilion. The three scenes create a type of bond with the space. A literal connection, woven through hair braids that extend and branch out from Paula Quintana to the architectural body and the vegetal body, and conversely, from these bodies back to the dancer.

"A fabric between bodies of diverse natures that reminds us of the reciprocity of our relationships and actions, and the web of which we are part. A continuous dance between bodies, natures, and scales that respond to one another. A network we sustain and that sustains us across time and space. A call to responsibility towards the beauty and delicate power of this braided fabric."
