NATURAL ORDER OF THINGS

NATURAL ORDER OF THINGS

NATURAL ORDER OF THINGS is a dance performance with nine dancers, premiered at the Grec festival in Barcelona on July 3, 2024, followed by the international premiere at La Biennale Danza 2024 in Venice on July 19, 2024.

GN|MC reflects on natural phenomena as a need to understand the universe that surrounds us, reminding us that we are part of nature, rather “WE ARE NATURE”.

SYNOPSIS

Inspired by the notion of order disorder, we look into the complexity of self-organizing systems in nature, seen as a microcosmos, as a tiny universe made up of a multitude of self-propagating organisms. We will reveal ourselves as an invented organism that manifests itself as a resistance to the loss of order and the tendency to chaos, reorganizing itself in a genius and harmonic way.

As an ode to life and its fragile atmosphere, this is an attempt to reassure our statement as a protest through beauty and harmony as the only way to reconnect to nature and restore balance. We can regain perspective even in the greatest challenges through survival and recognition of the beauty, purpose and perceptible patterns in the universe and in nature. An attempt to imagine what we are made of, a mass of kinetic possibilities.
