NO SE TRATA DE UN DESNUDO MITOLÓGICO

NO SE TRATA DE UN DESNUDO MITOLÓGICO is a work that takes up a series of female archetypes linked to representations of passionate attitudes from photography, genre and horror cinema or advertising. In these images of the body in ecstasy, of the body out of itself, certain positions are recurrent: position of abandonment, upside down head, half-open mouth, an expression of the face which recalls the physical exploit or an orgasm. With these gestures Aina Alegre creates a choreographic material and in 2011 she creates a first performance LA MAJA DESNUDA DICE. In 2012 she resumed the solo project and was inspired by the bodies of gymnasts, athletes, majorettes, Greek statues and academic dances, and continued her research into the representation of the body in ecstasy linked to physical feats. By replaying all these postures, often in a repetitive, almost mechanical form, in order to shift them or even make them slip, the piece becomes a narrative of figures diverted by the physical power that inhabits them. It revisits both gender identities and bodies in an extreme, even warlike state, a staging that questions the instrumentalization of the body and interrogates a form of physical fanaticism.
