Instante

Creation 2018

Circus Artist and Dancer, Juan Ignacio Tula explores the possibilities of his apparatus, the Cyr wheel. Through an interplay of forces and counterweights between metal and body, within the expression of centrifugal force, a field of possibilities and discoveries unfolds inside the wheel. How can the state of exhaustion encountered through a simple, rotating, and repetitive movement inscribe itself into the body?

From the blindness induced by spirals emerges the instinct for survival, where the body commits fully, nearing the inflection point where everything becomes infinite. Instante is the materialization of this journey to the center of oneself.

Through dance and physical performance, Juan questions his own limits, leading us to the edge of hypnosis, disrupting our perception of time, and offering us a reflection of perseverance and humanity. In this journey of elevation, he questions and reveals himself.
