PERFORMANCES
“CELL-FISH”. Anthropological itinerant living installation. #Ineedsyourapproval #mimycellandI #Ilovemyfishtank.
By Arnoldo Maal & Panchi Sanfuentes.
Music by Daniel Maal.
A “Cell-Fish” is an anatomical Socio-psycho-techno-human mutation that appears as a side effect of the communication industry.
It is a creature with extremely low levels of self-esteem, which needs the approval of their peers to activate any of its vital functions.
Its primary energy is obtained directly from virtual units in several forms: ¨LIKES¨, ¨HA-HAS¨, ¨WOWS¨ and ¨LOVES¨
Until now Science has not been able to explain the high rate of population growth of this specie, since in its entropy, has atrophied the ability to connect with reality, resulting in the elimination of its preservation instinct, ignoring events that threaten their own specie survival. (Text & Drive, Absence of Likes, Pokemones search on cliffs, or deaths due to lack of WIFI).
Katatonic Garden, Art Sound Performance by Muu Blanco
Catatonia is a neuropsychiatric syndrome characterized by motor abnormalities that occur in association with alterations in consciousness, affection and thought.
Under a catatonic state Muu Blanco make this performance, which represents his interest in guttural sounds and jars wrapped with synthetic atmospheres and rhythms simultaneously from 3 smartphone.
PMS Lounge by Nina Dotti
After surgical menopause at age 33 I found a lot of misinformation and silence on this issue. That`s the reason why I decided to create my participatory performance Hot Flashes Bar: to educate women about menopause and how to handle it in a more relaxed, positive way. The PMS Lounge app is an evolution of the original proposal that aims to provide effective information, now under the impact of new technologies, on how transit menopause with full satisfaction.
The PMS lounge app is an educational tool that allows the user, and also the participant in the collaborative performance, to obtain important information on the topics of menopause and andropause (also known as men menopause) through content videos produced with a sense of humor, irony and critic effrontery.
Performance Amereida World Beat Music feat: GEORGE LE SAX & LADY ACAPELLA
Am I Intangible?
Performance by Fernando Calzadilla
Music by Gustavo Matamoros
Associate Lighting Designer Tammy Srinivas
In 2003, UNESCO established the Intangible Heritage program to safeguard these five “domains”
Oral traditions and expressions, including language as a vehicle of the intangible cultural heritage;
Performing arts;
Social practices, rituals and festive events;
Knowledge and practices concerning nature and the universe;
Traditional craftsmanship.
Since its inception, I have been asking about the W’s of any event, why, where, when, what, which, and who. To me culture is alive and always in process, always changing, never identical. To safeguard culture, well intentioned as it may be, is petrifying, paralyzing, and dangerous.
Am I Intangible? Asks the same questions Fernando have been asking in his performances since 2004. Who decides what, which one, where, when, and finally, why?
He will appear covered in white clay, paint myself, and then the audience will efface his painting.

“ Take the Load Off”
Video Poetry by Nina Dotti
Take the load off/El Despojo” is composed of a striking video-performance “ El Despojo” bearing along with distinct visual-poetry “Corazon/Heart”, small format installations and photographs.
“Take the Load off/El Despojo” turned out to become a rousing performance in which Dotti invited 100 women to pen upon a paper all the things that prevented them from evolving in their life. Once the participating women wrote down the litany of problems hindering their self-actualization, their written laments were thrown into a massive cauldron where the flames of regret were forged into communal wishes for a more positive future.
The work was conducted at the 13 1/2 km mark of the La Guardia Highway in Santa Cruz, Bolivia (2015).
In addition to the video/performance “Take the Load off/El Despojo, the artist, whose real name is Nina Fuentes submit nine visual-poems, adapted from the book of poems titled “Música de Rocola /Jukebox Music”, written by her friend and compatriot Adriana Bertorelli.
Dotti’s commanding opus is completed with 13 objects and photos linked with the poems and with the problems of the heart and our affections.

Performance “ Mandala 3D” by Rayma Suprani & Videoart by The Gatos Media
Mandalas are a spiritual representation and a ritual of the cosmos. It is also a Sanskrit term mainly used as a ceremonial language in Hindu rituals, as hymns and mantras.
They represent the sacred space, the center of the Universe and the focus point. A circle inside of a square shape represents the mandala.
In practice, mandalas may be lineal or figurative, from the cardinal axes that project them. You can divide its parts in internal regions of a circle. For Buddhists, it functions as meditation, however, the most important process for them is the “creation” because is a journey that shows the experience of the designer and is the connection between man and divinity.
Drawing and painting mandalas is a therapy, it’s a free design and it has infinite meaning.
The graphic artist Rayma, will start us with Mandala 22, a performance with a large-scale, different colors, sounds and shapes that will give us a peek into her creative process, making a mix between painting and video.
