ZONDER
Ayelen Parolin
ZONDER is an immersion in an unpredictable forest, a journey through improbable landscapes and absurd situations and relationships.
Contrary to the Cartesian imperative that everything be methodically thought out, measured and certified, Ayelen Parolin prefers to defend a theory of imperfection, where composition and decomposition merrily intertwine to better welcome uncertainty, error and accident as paths to other possibilities - to the unthought.
Articulating, disarticulating and re-articulating dance between performers, constructing, deconstructing and reconstructing choreography: ZONDER plunges you into the unexpected and the astonishing through the absurd outdoorsy adventures of these three exuberant, engaging and sensitive human beings. Exaltation, exuberance, excess - these are the crazy ways in which this trio builds its mechanism of cumulative contamination and alteration. Referring in particular to Dadaism, the artist offers a new opus that is both funny and serious, wobbly and confident, nightmarish and joyful, full of connivance and ambivalence.
