URONGO (2010) 

Urongo means beetle in Quechua, and the work uses this animal's metaphor to describe the everyday life of a couple: following the path and rolling up balls of experience through the experiences they live through. In the piece, a pair of dancers seek balance in a dance where they sometimes seem too light, others too heavy. Their dance is accompanied by live music by the rock band Terminar, who take center stage as they try unsuccessfully to musicalize the lazy cadence of two people with different rhythms. Urongo was one of the winning pieces of the award granted by AECID and the Cultural Center of Spain in 2010.Urongo is performed by two dancers and two musicians. The length of the piece is 35 minutes. It can be presented in traditional theater as well as in unconventional venues.
