La salida (The exit) is an umbrella project that brings together a series of choreographic performance researches with the body as its central axis. The aim of these practices is to articulate an amplifying and rhetorical reading of the material and circumstantial reality of the body and its environment based on what is already happening.
Whatever its form, it is an excursion into the bowels of what is hidden before our eyes. Once started, a journey from what is already here has no end. It is a work that is nourished by fiction and is articulated to constantly rewrite its own destiny. It breaks with the great theatrical totems at the same time as it kisses them. La salida (The Exit) is like asking ChatGPT for a performance reading that goes through the history of Lovecraft's cosmic horror (dismantling the racism and misogyny that surrounds it), relating it to the monstrosity of the mucosa in Zulawski's film Possession and Svetlana Zajárova's interviews about her interpretation of the shadows in La Bayadère. All this is perfumed with a touch of 2000s pop, neo-perreo and the precarious aesthetics of an essay that goes wrong, but where strange things happen. It's a moment in my life when I think, where am I putting my attention?; I think, where should I put it?; I think, but is this over yet?
Biography
pepe lolo
pepe lolo combines his training in materials engineering at Iowa State University with his study of choreography and performance at the Institut del Teatre de Barcelona, and develops an interdisciplinary practice that crosses the idea of micromaterials – articulating his practice from the study of the effect of microscopic structure and design on the readable properties of a material.
He is currently exploring new and old interests that include choreography, music production and live mixing, horror cinema, mamarracheo, Jerezano folklore or American lifestyle, among others. All this to create immersive experiences of a genre that invite you to inhabit spaces of transformation. He has recently reinforced the multiplicity of his interests after his time at the SNDO school (Amsterdam) and the Laboratorio Artístico de Creación (Madrid). He is currently collaborating with artists who develop their practices in the Barcelona and surrounding areas, such as Ferri Amaya with the Piel de toro project and Blanca Tolsá with the Parafonías project.
