ARTILUGIOS DE LA MIRADA 

In Artilugios de la Mirada (Gadgets of the gaze), the audience is invited to change positions to view the same choreographic score from a different perspective. Each position allows some details to be seen and hides others, prompting the viewer to question the meaning of what they see each time. 
If the interpretation of what we see depends on our "position," could it be possible to think of new ways of living together in which we are able to shift positions to understand how other people see the world?
In times of hyper fragmentation fostered by social media, Gadgets of the gaze is a stage device that plays with curiosity and sparks reflection on what we can or cannot see, on our biases, and on our ability to understand a reading of reality different from our own if we are willing to "shift positions."
