An improvised dance performance by

Dragonflies do not normally sting humans and they are valued as a predator that helps control the populations of mosquitoes.
Its fragile body and long wings make the dragonflies one of the quickest insects.
Their nymphs are aquatic.
Damselflies are often confused with dragonflies.
Water is the liquid that most substances dissolve in.

It was recently discovered that dragonflies employ a particular optical illusion to stalk other insects that invade their territory.
A dragonfly can move in such a way that it projects itself as a still object while speedily attacking its victims.
These findings illustrate how dragonflies use complex camouflaging techniques during aerial combat.


Quío Binetti is a butoh dancer and choreographer, but butoh (a Japanese contemporary dance) can be so wide and ambiguous that it allows her a flexible ground from which she can develop a singular creative process. Somehow butoh is more butoh when less butoh is. Quío’s movements result anomalous for the ordinary sight; they usually take our quotidian way of seeing to unknown places.

Diego Chamy is a musician devoted to improvised/experimental music. In the last years he unexpectedly stopped playing and started to dance, becoming a kind of "musician without an instrument". His work reflexes dance from a musician way of thinking. This makes his performances a happening with unclear and confused limits in between what we call dance, theater, performance-art or site-specific art.
