Using the medium of contemporary dance in the broadest understanding of that word, and highly respected within the artistic community (they were directorial collaborators in the extraordinary Falaise by company, Baro d’evel, for example), Mal Pelo are the artistic co-directors, dancers and choreographers Maria Muñoz and Pep Ramis based in Girona. They walk and walk.īased on a poem, Separation, by art critic, painter and writer, John Berger, the company state that the work is “about the ambivalence of the individual and the community”. They walk rhythmically, turning at random intervals, sometimes in concert with others in the group. On that screen, people swarm slowly, alone and blank-faced, in step with each other. Hanging off the ground without roots, they exist in an other-worldly, ghostly light in front of a large screen showing a black and white film. In this video-art-light installation at the Bólit, Centre d’Art Contemporani in Girona, tall, straight tree trunks are suspended. “If the main driving force of our dynamic is walking then that of our identity is asking questions.” Mal Pelo In two parts: Bosc Tancat (‘Dense/Enclosed Forest’) in Bòlit_LaRambla, and Taller-Memòria in Bòlit_PouRodó.
